Hi All,
I am a re-newbie to Linux. A couple of weeks ago I got
my hands on Lycoris linux. When I tried to install
lycoris, it screwed my hdd big time. It never booted -
which it should have, it never gave me the dual boot
option - which it should have. I could boot from my
dos floppy and access C:, but lycoris mess-up never
allowed me to create any file from dos. I could just
view. I had win98 se installed at that time. I though
of trying to overwrite the mbr with my my win98se
setup. But 98se setup used to abort. I had to DELETE
my primary partition to make my system (win98se) work!
Can anyone tell me what could hv gone wrong? My C: is
10 GB, D is 10, E is 15 GB and F is the remaining of
the total of 40 GB.
Is its because lycoris cant recognise large
partitions. I remember in year 97, 98 that red hat
didnt work fine with large partitions.
I used red hat in late 90s. But then gave it up for
the easy of use of 98se. I thought that lycoris was
the better of linux for DESKTOPS. But I am thoroughly
shaken with this linux experience.
Can anyone tell me which linux works fine as a good
desktop? It should atleast be as easy to use as
win98se. (Btw, before this linux mess-up, my win98se
worked fine for 5 years.)
I also hv knoppix. Can anyone tell me how to install
it to the hdd? I would like to install it on my last
partition (F:\).
~A.
