[newbie] Recovering LILO
I have a computer with two physical hard drives, one for Windows 98 C: and applications and the other D: for Linux-Mandrake 6 and any apps to go with it. I also have LILO installed in the mbr for when I want either Windows or Linux to come up. Recently I've had to reinstall Windows and as a consequence of that, I've also had to reinstall Linux-Mandrake to get LILO back. In the future, if I should have to install, reinstall Windows 98 or 2000 when it comes out, how can I recover LILO _without_ having to reinstall Linux also? I think there is a way of doing that but I lost track of it. Can someone refresh me on that as I really do not want to have to use a separate boot disk whenever I want to get into Linux. Thanks for any guidance Richard Salts
[newbie] What to do when . . . . .
I have two machines with two physical hard disk drives but I'll just talk about one of them here. Windows ran into some sort of problem and I felt the need to reinstall Windows which I did and I knew it would overwrite LILO which it did. I used the Linux boot disk to boot up with and when it gave me the 'rescue' option I took it but it didn't find the kernel on drive D or hdb as I guess it's called in Linux and the boot didn't go all the way. I ended up reinstalling LM also and redoing the boot disk. So my question is and it may have come up innumerable times before by others so please have patience with me when I ask: When a reinstallation of Windows occurrs on Drive C and it wipes out the LILO program on C, too, I guess, what does the boot disk do about this or does it do anything? And how can I get LILO back in operation when this kind of wipeout happens? Does the 'rescue' disk repair the mbr? Does the boot disk do this? I would like to know. Thank you Richard

Yes, the console came on just fine but the video images were very overly large and distorted. I don't know if they appeared that way to you but you might think about another card.

Let me ask you how, when you installed you LM copy, did you have good perfect matches with video card, monitor,, etc so that you were able to easily slide into LM with no trouble at all?.

Well, I've guessed at about all of them and my LM screen still comes up with these oversized images. Okay, when I get into the op system after logging in, is there is keyboard combination that will get me into console mode so that charachers can be seen as pretty well normal-sized (like 640X480) and then I can bring up XF86setup.

To set up your modem, click on the K symbol in the lower left-hand corner of your KDE window and look in the "Internet" category of the pop-up menu and select Kppp. Then follow the instructions to give it your ISP's phone number, your login name and password, and the usual questions you would answer about a modem.
