So far, 8.2 installs FIRST TIME on every platform I've tried -- NICE!!

This may come as a surprise to Civileme; but 8.2 even installs on a
Toshiba Tecra 500CDT with only 32MB in graphical mode...  :^)  Although
I'm debugging 8.2 X problems...  So, I'm running 8.1 on it at the
moment...

LILO problem:  While installing 8.2 (separate / and /usr from 8.1
install), when in the step where I can add another OS to lilo, I specified
"linux8.1" with /boot/vmlinuz on /dev/hda5...  nothing else; yet this is
what got added:  image=/boot/vmlinuz
        label=linux8.1
        root=/dev/hda5
        initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-6mdk.img
        read-only          ^^^^^^^^^^^^   Wrong!

Reverting this entry to what I had in 8.1: 
  image=/boot/vmlinuz
        label=linux8.1
        root=/dev/hda5
        initrd=/boot/initrd.img
        append=" devfs=mount"
        vga=788
        read-only

restored my ability to start X in 8.1...
