Worked nicely.

One remark and one question. lilo.conf defaulted boot=/dev/hda1 whereas I expected boot=/dev/hda. In any case, it works. Many Web pages explain how to boot "single user" with "linux single" at the boot prompt. OK but I get a two line menu on the coffee picture; managed to interrupt automatic booting but couldn't get a prompt. What I really want is a single user case in menu. No mention in lilo.conf.man. Is it possible? Thanks for all the help, ... Peter E. -- Google "pathology workshop" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
