in /etc/lilo.conf other = /dev/hda1 label=dos table=/dev/hda then run lilo again. BTW, the answer to this (and also to your previous question) is well documented and easy to find in the man pages & other documentation which comes with debian. If you want to get the full benefit of running a unix OS you've got to be willing to RTFM - just having a notebook full of 'magic tricks' isnt good enough, you have to understand what you're doing. 'man' is an essential command. get to know it, try 'man man' for more info. 'info' is for reading the manuals in /usr/info contains GNU info documents. IM0 it is an ugly and clumsy format but for some programs it is the only on-line documentation available. The 'emacs' editor can also view info documents and, according to emacs users, is a lot nicer to use. /usr/doc is a directory containing compressed documentation files and examples for every debian package. Lots of good stuff in here! Craig
