Just my two cents on this subject: Being as impressed by eye-candy and dancing-baloney as I am, I recommend the CHOS package. It's fairly easy to install and configure (it has an X-interface for configuration), and has a MUCH more intuitive interface (curses-based? menu) and can even display an ASCII-rendering of Tux in the background.
An example of the benefit: Our finances are currently being tracked with Quicken on my Windows partition, until I can get my version of GNUcash to work. My fiancee is a Mac user. Which is easier, telling her to press tab, and then type in the partition label, or telling her to press the number next to the partition label on the menu? But in the end I suppose it's a matter of taste. I mean, I'm sure LILO has its advantages too. I just chose CHOS. :) -----Original Message----- From: Andrei Ivanov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 19, 1999 10:25 AM To: Person, Roderick Cc: recipient.list.not.shown Subject: Re: Lilo or Loadlin... > So, > How do I setup lilo or loadlin to boot hdb? Which is better?? AFAIK, loadlin is used to boot to linux from Dos/Windows. I use LILO myself. Kinda gives me flexibility of being exposed to windows only whenever I have to be. But to setup LILO: chances are you already have it. If you don't , download it from debian site and install it. THe key to LILO is lilo.conf I have a sample procedure on how to set up lilo.conf on my page at members.tripod.com/AnSIv HTH, Andrew --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrei S.
