I had the same "LI" problem and fixed it by removing the Lilo install
from my C drives master boot record. Do this by using your DOS?Windows
boot disk to get to a c: prompt. Then type in "fdisk /mbr" without the
quotes. This will remove LILO. Works like a charm and windows will boot
up as it used
OK folks:
I now have Linux working except for my sound card or SCSI stuff but the
main part of the system is at least stable enough for me to poke around.
I don't really know what to do with it all except for play some of the
new fangled games.
Anyway, there's a huge class coming to town

I was just wondering:
Is Linux susceptible to the same virii that Windoze is?

If that
doesn't work, try some of the other choices. I have an ALS and got

I ran sndcnfig and when it does the sample test I get this error

Someone posted the other day how to delete LILO from the master boot

my Primary slave drive but whenever I do LILO (which is on the mbr of
the primary master dive) only partially boots and I can't get to

It kills things.

Hi:
My modem is a built in LT Winmodem (56K v90). Is this useless? It has

John,
If you're serious and it will work and get me online temporarily I would
be glad to take you up on that.
I can't tell you how frustrating it is to have to close Linux, open
Windows, check
on my
new drive can I skip using the fips crap and just do a normal install?
Then how do I set up the boot manager to ask me which OS I'd like to use
at startup?
Sorry for all the questions but that's what we're here for right?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Well, Mr Gates is not my *only* reason for switching, thank you. I'm
planning on diving into C/C++ and the openness of this OS makes it a
great place to experiment.
Next time I'll keep the personal details to myself and stick to the
questions.

Well, now that I've already done the setup with the recommendation of
2.5 x my RAM as swap file size how can I quickly change that back down
to 100MB or so instead of my current 300MB?
