Installing on a GRUB system?
i'm downloading the debian-installer beta. i intend to install on a spare partition on my GRUB-based system. does debian-installer use GRUB or LILO? if LILO, can i just skip the LILO installation and add an entry to grub.conf instead? thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

And you can do apt-get remove --purge lilo and setup grub instead. -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;-) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...

Re: Installing on a GRUB system?
David what installer are you talking about? woody installer? I used the newer sarge one and I didnt notice any option but lilo because sure would have appreciated installing grub instead. Instead will have to install configure grub after the fact.

Regards, David. In the new Debian installer. I believed this was the one you were referring to. With Debian, Lilo is the default, but one of the developers stated that Grub was available in the installer as an option. I cannot tell you where, as I have not used it myself, but it will be somewhere. Regards, David. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
