When I boot into Slink off the HD it set me up with the Redhat kernel, not my custom Slink kernel. This is the error I got when I ran lilo after the change in /etc/lilo.conf: Added redhat * Added 95 open /mnt/slink/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36 No such file or directory. I think what I'm going to do for the time being is set the mbr on the windows HD back to what it was, floppy into the Slink side and rerun lilo so it boots off the HD and use a floppy to boot Redhat. I tried setting up lilo from Slink before but it didn't erase what lilo from Redhat had done. There has to be a way to boot these three oss though. Thanks, kent
