It might also tell you something about adding an initrd to your lilo configuration.

Try doing it in the CLI, you will probably get a more detailed error message. you could also try apt-get -f install to fix all half installs or conflicts > 3) can i install rpms of fedora linux on debian?what command to install > rpm onto debian? There are packages like alien that allow you to install rpm's or tgz or whatever on debian, but i wouldn't go that way. Is there really something you can't find a deb repository for and that you absolutely need an rpm to install? Chances are the rpm doesn't follow the debian directory layout or policy and you might get in trouble. I'd rather compile it manually in /usr/local if i really have to than install from a foreign distro rpm > can somebody please guide me.thanks in anticipation.regards > samkupar > > using linux has improved a part of me,for sure. > > > _____________________________________________________________ > Thank you for choosing LinuxQuestions. > http://www.linuxquestions.org > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
