to get rid of the linux_old you may need to edit lilo.conf.
this is in either /boot or /etc or maby /etc/lilo ,i'm not sure where
mandrake put's it.
you can open this up in vi(for the bold) or the kde editor.
there will be a line with linux_old in there which you can just remove or
comment out.

Subject: [newbie] Still No Internet Connection
Hello All,
Okay, I still cannot get on the internet but I have received
some good leads,
here's what I've done so far:
went into Drakconf
entered the two DNS numbers of my ISP
(connection still didn't work)
I think I may need to know the code or whatever it is for my
"net device".
That is one of the fields I have to fill in, "net device".
There are about
20 options like "eth0, eth1, s10, tr0, tr1, etc. I have a
PCMCIA card in the
COM 1 slot (Joe, you mentioned that COM 1 = ttyso but that
was not on the
list. Is it o or 0 by the way?) It also required for me to
enter something
in the "kernel module" field. What the?
I needed to specify "which order the various name services
must be probed"
(e.g. DNS, host or host,DNS are amont about 20 options). I
have a cable
modem DHCP connection, does that help anyone? Also, how do I
know if my
"machine is allowed to route IP packets".
Finally, I have my hard drive partitioned into a windows and
linux section.
When booting up, LILO says I have both a "linux" and
"linux_old" operating
system. How do I get rid of the linux_old crap?
all help is appreciated,
Andrew
