[gentoo-user] Getting back to the comand line
Hey everyone I was trying to find out what NIC card I was using ( i really know just wanted to make sure) for it can load the module at boot time. Well something happened and then instead of getting: cdimage linux # I get: > and I cant get out of it. What does this little arrow thing mean? Tried everything I knew to get back but no luck. I was almost done with the installation and boom. Had to reset the computer... 3v1|!! Well thxs for your time. = -Miguel [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

Re: [gentoo-user] 0 for 2, this is possible?
alright cool. just one more question, for lilo.conf were it says "default" and "lable" i can have them say anything right? Like both of them saying "Gentoo" instead of "linux"? --- Andrew Gaffney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yeah, change 'boot=/dev/hdb1' to 'boot=/dev/hdx'. > The x is whichever device's MBR you want LILO on > (a for 1st hd, b for 2nd). > > -- > Andrew Gaffney > > > -- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list > = -Miguel [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: [gentoo-user] 0 for 2, this is possible?
yeah i remembered i had red hat on it thats why grub comes out. as for lilo.conf, it went like this: --- boot=/dev/hdb1 (*now that i think of it... i dont remember if i put a one there or not..? cant check cause the drive is formatted, but could that be a cause?) map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b promt timeout=50 lba32 default=linux image=/boot/bzImage lable=linux read-only root=/dev/hdb3 --- is there a way for me get lilo in the mbr?

Re: [gentoo-user] 0 for 2, this is possible?
When i boot into /dev/hda it goes into XP directly. And when i boot into /dev/hdb (i remember i had red hat on it thats why grub comes out!) I get grub at a command-like promt. --- "Steven R.

[gentoo-user] 0 for 2, this is possible?
Sup everyone! So far, I have tryed to installed Gentoo on a 2nd hdd i have 2 times. Needless to say, its on /dev/hdb. Ok well i the /boot in /dev/hdb1. When i setup lilo, it- said something about there being problems cause its the 2nd hard drive. Then i noticed that my bios gives me a choice at boot up to... boot... into either hard drive. If i choose the first one, win xp comes up fine. choose the 2nd one... and for some reason grub comes up at the command line. no choice to boot into gentoo or nothing. all i can do is reboot. And i dont remember "emerge grub" happening. Make a long story short. Is it possible to do what Im trying to do b4 i got at it for a 3rd time from stage 1? thanks for your time. really appreciate it. = -Miguel [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

Re: [gentoo-user] Fork of Gentoo?
Wow this whole fork thing is getting big. I was just wondering if I got this whole story right. Trying to figure out what exactly a "fork" is. Is that when they take the source code of a distro and make their own out of it? Thats the conclusion that I came up with after reading. Also, by my reading ;), its that Zach did not agree with someone I think his name is Daniel, so he left and took other developers with him to create Zynot. Am I right? As a beginner to Gentoo, Im about to install it, does this fork thing have an end result on the user? Sorry for all these questions, just really curious.
