Just to throw a spanner clean into the works on this issue, I have Windows 2000 pro and linux dual booting here on my machine. I had debian set up, did the 2000 install, and it never even touched the bootloader. Even to the point of when the install was finished, I even had lilo still intact and fu

Casper, et. al.: Sorry I got distracted from this thread. If I am understanding this lilo.conf properly, I have a question and would appreciate comments on my rough plan to install, to see if I am missing something or if it should work. TIA for the help. (1) When the lilo.conf points to /dev

Dear all: As much as I would like to just wipe out Windows, I have to have it for some support purposes (work). However, I would like to repartition and get Debian up. I have been reading and re-reading "tfm," but wonder if anyone has any experience on this. I put up slink with just the fl
