doh, i know, i keep changing the date in kde2, but it keeps getting reset...i
dunno what to do about it..
ok, i'm trying to put lilo on a floppy by typing:
lilo -C /mnt/floppy/etc/lilo.conf -b /dev/fd0
but its complaining about not finding /boot/message. its because my
/mnt/floppy/etc/lilo.conf file says:
message=/boot/message
but the damn message file is in /mnt/floppy/boot, not /boot!
someone said that the lilo docs cover how to fool windows into thinking its
on the first harddrive. where are the docs? i've been trying to look at the
README, but damnit, i'm not a harddrive engineer! =)
thank you,
christopher
