Re: [newbie] writing lilo for choice to boot either linux or win98
hy, ernest, thanks for your reply. I just about got it right, using examples from the newest edition of Running Linux. But I did forget the line table=hdx where x is the hard drive for win98.

Re: [newbie] writing lilo for choice to boot either linux or win98
This should not be too hard to do. Boot into Linux with a boot disk (I hope you have one). Then check that your /etc/lilo.conf file has a section to boot either system using the text editor of your choice (if you did a reinstall of Win98, it should be good to go). Next from a command line run lilo, and it will install the boot loader again for you. Then re boot, and you should be able to do the dual boot thing again. If I am mistaken on this, maybe someone else with greater experience than I can give you better advice.

[newbie] writing lilo for choice to boot either linux or win98
I just set things up with Mandrake 6.0 on one hard drive and win98 on the other. I used to have lilo set up to give me the choice of one or the other. Does anyone know how to do this? The mandrake disk will do it if I reinstall, but I don't want to do that. adios, STeve = __ Do You Yahoo!? Bid and sell for free at http://auctions.yahoo.com
