Try putting the option 'prompt' at the top of your lilo.conf and running
/sbin/lilo to write the changes. You also might want to increase the

Addendum:
The easiest (best?) way to get some hardware working under Linux is to

to keep those hardware components working under the Win9x side of your
computer. Making Linux do PnP or making Windows _not_ need PnP is one o

I'm real interested in downloading and running Debian, but I have win 95
on my machine now, can I leave win 95 on there and use debian too or?
I have successfully used Partition Magic to alter the size of partitions
which already have assigned mount points (I installed from an MS-DOS
partition and then deleted the partition and made it part of root). It
made the system scan the whole thing next time I booted up, but nothing
bad happened.

In potato, /bin/kill is in the procps package, while in slink it's in
