Re: [expert] howdo I single boot?
Faisal, He's talking about Grub, and you can find it on the installation CD that you have with Mandrake in it. If you don't have the CD's you can find the RPM at just about any FTP site that has Mandrake on it. ftp://ftp.tux.org click this link and you can download the file so install grub ftp://ftp.tux.org/distributions/mandrake/7.1/Mandrake/RPMS/grub-0.5.94-12mdk.i586.rpm have fun, Mark faisal wrote: do you have the least idea where can i find this visual lilo ? - Original Message - From: "Greg Stewart" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: "Mark Weaver" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 16, 2000 5:33 AM Subject: Re: [expert] howdo I single boot?

On Tue, 15 Aug 2000, you wrote: Well...now wait a minute...That's an interesting concept. What it 'that' and how would one do that? No network access, and no login prompt either. Type "linux single" at the lilo prompt (minus quotes) and it should put you into single-user mode. It's good for some disk repair stuff, etc. John

You _have to_ use LILO (or something else, e.g. grub) to _load_ your kernel at boot time. So when you remove windows, you don't change anything about the linux entries in your lilo.conf file, you simply remove the entry for the windows boot. But if you always want to boot the same kernel without asking you, you can remove the prompt in lilo specification, and/or specify a zero delay. -- Jean-Louis Debert[EMAIL PROTECTED] 74 Annemasse France old Linux fan
Re: [expert] howdo I single boot?
You can configure LILO to not wait for prompt atall (unless you keep the left shift key pressed) and that will act as a direct Linux boot! -sarang
