Recent versions of lilo have /boot/boot.b as a symlink to
/boot/boot-menu.b, which gives you the color menu. To get the plain
menu back, you can either use 'install=/boot/boot-text.b' in
/etc/lilo.conf, or change the /boot/boot.b symlink to point to
/boot/boot-text.b

One way to make a floppy boot disk that doesn't boot with Lilo...
1) copy your kernel to the (umounted) floppy disk using dd or cp:
dd if=/boot/your_kernel of=/dev/fd0
cp /boot/your_kernel /dev/fd0
2) tell the kernel on the floppy disk where your root partition is:
rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/yo
To put it another way, that non-contiguous percentage is totally
unrelated to whether your drive is failing or not. It's just telling you
the degree of file system fragmentation.

The problem is that you are using the same kernel to boot all 4

You have to specify the path to each kernel that you want to run

128 bit encryption is not available directly from installing Debian
packages. There's a few options as far as getting the 128 bit
encryption:
1) Install normally using the Debian package(s). This will install the
56 bit version. Then use the fortify packages (fortify and
fortify-linux-x86) to inst
Most newcomers to Linux will (understandably) start with a commercial
distribution that they can find shrink wrapped on the shelves. That
pretty much rules Debian out for them, but those who discover it later
on tend to stick with it.

Partition Magic v4 and v5 both work well as far as resizing, copying,
moving Linux partitions. I've never had it do any harm to the ext2fs
file system itself.
However, when you use PM to resize/move a bootable partition that has
Lilo installed in it's boot sector, be prepared to boot with a floppy
Not sure which Debian version you're running, but in both potato and
slink it should be at /bin/kill according to the output of 'dpkg -L'.
In potato, /bin/kill is in the procps package, while in slink it's in
bsdutils. In both potato and slink there is also a /usr/bin/skill, and
it's in the procp
I would also suggest giving magicfilter a try if you don't resolve your
apsfilter problem. I have the SC 660, amd the magicfilter package works
well with it. The SC 600 is well supported. Magicfilter has 3 filters

Someone can probably help you with that SCSI problem, but failing that,
there's no need to buy Debian 2.2 (potato). In fact you probably can't
yet anyway since it isn't quite released yet.
What you could do instead is download just the handful of files needed
to install the base potato system from
The simplest way is to dd the kernel to the floppy disk, and then set
the root device (partition).
dd if=/path_to_your_kernel of=/dev/fd0 bs=512
rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/your_root_partition
You can verify that the root device for the floppy disk kernel is set
correctly by using this command:
rdev /d
Fips 2.0 is also on the Debian ftp site here:

First of all, if you're installing Debian, I'd suggest going with
version 2.2 (potato,frozen) instead of 2.1 (slink,stable). Potato is
about to be released and is quite stable. Potato includes the new
version of Lilo, so the 1024 cylinder issue is no longer a problem.
I strongly suggest reading th
Another thing that may help is to install the pciutils package (if you
haven't already), and run the lspci command. That should give additional
info on what Linux is recognizing as far as your sound card is
concerned, as well as all your other PCI devices.
I have an older version of the PCI64 car
