[newbie] Lilo :o/

1999-06-15 Thread Putteman Patrick
Hi I mistakenly erased lilo. I have a dual boot system with win98 and now my system will only boot in Windoze. My linux partition is on /dev/hdc3. When I boot with the rescue boot disk (Tomsrbt.img) supplied on the CD, and I try to rerun lilo using my lilo.conf on dev/hdc3, I get an error.

hi, What exactly does your lilo.conf contain? if you entered /dev/hda/ as root partition, it will not work and lilo will tell you it can't find the directory, cause that is what /dev/hda/ stands for. Correct your lilo.conf root entry to /dev/hda and it should be ok ;o) Hope this helps Patrick

Hi, I'm affraid Mandrake doesn't have any USB support 'right out of the box'. In fact, Linux doesn't have USB support at all for the moment unless you compile your own kernel (at least version 2.2.7 (stable) or 2.3.3 (development). Keep in mind that USB support in Linux is still very BETA and
