If you have another computer you can access I can explain how to make a boot floppy with grub which you can use to boot your system, regardless of how your hardware is set up. (grub allows you to configure the boot parameters at boot time -- before your system is already booted and running) -D

This is an international list and I guess the majority of people subscribed here are not perfect in english, including me. I owuldn't bother about lilo. The Debian installation automatically asks you what to do with lilo and if you say install in mbr the old one will be overriden. I would much more wonder about all the other stuff of your old linux installation, unless Conectiva is a Debian based dirtibution. I would recomend to format your partition to get a clean installation of Debian. Frank

Install over another Linux
Hi, I`m with a machine to install the Debian Linux on it. I`ve already got the files to install it, but i`m with a doubt. The machine has a Windows 98 and a Conectiva Linux (a brasilian distribution of Linux) and I`m supposed to install Debian over the Conectiva instalation. But I was thinking what will happen to the Lilo. The Debian instalation will handle it right? How can I do this instalation? Do I have to uninstall Lilo first? If yes, how can I do it? Thank`s, Rafael Sasaki [EMAIL PROTECTED] P.S. Sorry for my bad english. I`m trying to improve it.
