I have to agree with you. It's the only thing that got me through the Cobol section of a programming languages survey course. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ty Mixon Sent: Wednesday, August 18, 1999 10:51 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: [[newbie] realy dumb and revisited Q]

As root run the command /sbin/lilo. This causes lilo to re-write the lilo configuration to the mbr. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Joseph Gardner Sent: Tuesday, August 17, 1999 6:14 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE:

RE: [newbie] Re-installed Win98 - Lost LILO -- How to re-install????

If you made a boot disk for Linux per the installation instructions use it to boot Linux and then run lilo to reinstall your loader on the mbr. If you didn't make a boot disk then I'm afraid you'll have to re-install, unless someone is aware of some other way of getting around this.

RE: [newbie] Linux drive disappeared!

Windows will not recognize your Linux partitions. Also, your drive designation in Windows is not arbitrary. If you remove a drive it once had by partitioning it for another file system it will just redesignate the drives that are left, keeping them in alphabetic sequence. -Original
