Hello all.
I am trying to write my lilo.conf file, since when I was installing Linux,
I decided not to use Lilo, and just boot it from a floppy.
Right now I need to make use of Lilo, so here is my problem:
I got 2 IDE HD's , C and D, hda and hdb respectively
C contains win95
D has a small 20M DOS

I am starting to look into installing Linux on an old Toshiba 4400C
laptop. I have the InfoMagic CDs, but no CD rom on the laptop but I've
got one on my desktop and can make floppies.
So any particular things to keep in mind in attempting this? Is it
possible to install linux on this at all?

Hi Vernon,
Thanks for you hints. I've solved my problems now.
I issued the command dpkg -C to check for broken packages. Yes, it is.
There are a few incomplete installations. So I reinstalled the system and now
all the man lpc, lpd, lpq, lpr and printcap pages works fine.

Hi group readers,
I was wondering what CPU I should select for compiling the kernel. I have a
AMD K6-2 300MHz. Should I compile for a regular pentium, or do the newer
kernels have K6 as a selectable CPU ?

it. ;-)))

I second that. I have an Adaptec 3940UW board (essentially two 2940UW

They're excellent performers.

Here's an idea.
Many packages have a logical structure in which certain parts of the
structure change nearly independently from other parts. I suggest breaking
these into independent .deb files, while having package managers like apt
and dselect optionally only be aware of them as single packages.
