Hi,
I'm trying to boot two Linux OS's with lilo, but with no success so far.
I've gone through all lilo docs and mini-howtos (which are mainly devoted to
Linux + other OS's), and tried several different configurations for
/etc/lilo.conf
Here are some details:

Hi, I'm attempting my first kernel compiling and was reading in the
Debian User's Guide that an easy way to do this is to install,
kernel-source and kernel-package. I have also heard there is an X
configuration tool for this also. Anyway I tried installing the kernel
packages with dselect. I hav

remove the harmless world rw permission from /dev/cdrom. Looking in
/etc/group, I can see
