I've used the OS/2 Warp 3.0 Boot Manager with Debian for over a year now. The trick is to put the linux loader to the boot block of the Linux root partition by putting the command boot=/dev/hdNUMBER where /dev/hdNUMBER is your the aforementioned root partition in the file /etc/lilo.conf and running lilo. /Tommi Kääriäinen/ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
