Oops! I did the usual newbie goof: edit lilo.conf and fail to run lilo.

For a number of reasons, I'm using Corel Linux's LILO to provide me with
the choices that include Mandrake. It was working fine until I replaced
6.1 with 7.0. Now I'm once again getting the error messages I did
before, when I had lilo.conf written wrong. The effect seems to be that

I just installed the Mandrake 7.0.2 I bought from Linux System Labs,
and now I have no mouse in X.
To explain further: I had no mouse during the install, because I have
an unused PS/2 port (I use ttyS0), and both Corel Linux and Mandrake
assume I'm using the PS/2. That part is OK, and I expect
Now that I can get on the Internet with it, I'm delighted with the 6.1
someone sent me. I've already ordered 7.0.2 to get the latest and
greatest. My question is whether I should spend any time customizing my
6.1 install if I'm going to need to trash it when I put 7.0.2 on.

When you install 7.0.2 just use the upgrade option, which will install the
new features and kernal. If you select install, well kiss 6.1 good bye

Kevinok, before I began this reply I dug out my boot floppy
(a HD 1.44 floppy disc made into a boot disc in a standard 3
1/2" drive) and stuck it in my ls-120, then rebooted (I set the
bios to boot the Ls-120). It was excruciatingly slow (much
slower than a standard floppy boot), but booted
It's my guess that you have your Ls-120 on the Secondary Slave channel. In
that case hdd is correct.

Greetings,
Last night a decided to jump from RH6.0 to Mandrake 6.1 for a change a
change of pace. I'm having a hard time getting my true type fonts to
recognize like I had in RH. I did what I usually do...
mkdir /usr/share/fonts/ttf
cp /C
the fonts are recognized by accessing the
text tool in gimp. They normally show right up when things are working
properly.

I have had 6.1 installed(from download), and working, and
now am trying to reinstall from powerpack CD's.
my CD-Rom is bootable, but when the install gets to making a
boot disk, it stops, without accessing the floppy
drive(actually a: is ls-120 with floppy disk, is bootable,
fully functional).

Kevinthe Ls-120 problem was discussed at great length
several months ago on either this list or the expert list. I
believe the bottom line was that an HD floppy with the boot info
on it would boot fine in an LS-120 drive, but there was no
practical way to make a boot floppy using an Ls-120.
I have the messages back to september, and don't see any resolution
to the problem, I don't seem to be able to mount the drive, the
light doesn't even light.

Hi,
I am running Mandrake 6.1 with the 2.2.13-7mdk SMP kernal.The only reason I

Yup! Sounds like a known bug with kcmclock and kdelibs packages. If the
kcmclock package is installed, remove it, then install kdelibs. I will not
likely be reported as installed in kpackage. This is what has fixed ny problems.
