Which Boot Manager?

gh their Web site acknowledges that it can happen. I do use EZ-drive to manage the two 10-gig drives in my system. So is there an approach I can use that will manage these OSes? Preferably without having to reinstall any that are already there? Lane Lane Lester / Madison County, Georgia U

Put Debian on Slave?

Can I install Debian to the slave drive rather than the master? I have Corel Linux on the master along with Win 98 and NT. I was thinking I could use Corel Linux's swap partition for Debian and just put the boot and root on the slave drive. Lane ---- Lane Lester / Madison County, Georgia USA

Reporting RAM

What command will tell me how much RAM Debian Linux thinks I have? My BIOS, Win NT, and Win 98 all know I have 128M, but Corel Linux thinks I have only 64M. I've tried adding the mem= line to lilo.conf, but it doesn't work for me. Lane ---- Lane Lester / Madison County, Georgia USA

Permission Needed to Use ttyS1?

When I tried wvdial for the first time (it was set up for me during the Dialup installation), it said, "Cannot open /dev/ttyS1: Permission denied." I know a little something about permissions, but I don't know about that one! Lane ---- Lane Lester / Madison County, Georgia USA

Re[2]: Thank you, Corel, for PPP

'm open to anything. The attraction of wvdial was that it provides a running report of what it's doing, so I thought it would be better for diagosis. wvdial has worked well under Corel Linux, too. I'll report back on the modem strings... well, if they're different, I'll change Debian's so that it's the same as Corel's. Lane Lane Lester / Madison County, Georgia USA

Can Separate Partitions Interfere?

e way? The boot process certainly looks like the three are independent, and the X interface is unique to each. However, I do see in the Mandrake boot (dmesg stuff) repeated errors that say /boot/System.map has incorrect kernel version." -- Lane ---- Lane Lester / Madison County, Georgia U

Troubleshooting My PPP

Re: Can Separate Partitions Interfere?

Re: Troubleshooting My PPP

I installed the other two distros with a floppy boot so that they wouldn't mess with the MBR. The Corel LILO gives me a menu that lets me select which distro to start. But I still need to know how large to make my replacement boot partition below 1024 cyl. -- Lane Lane Lester /
