Hello all,
I recently attempted a switch from RH7.0 to Slackware 7.0 for numerous
reasons, but the primary reason one was :why not? My adventures in Linux
have been for pure self edification and learning more is what it is all
about right? There is a point.
I installed slackware from the bare.i image from floppy, as my BIOS is
so old it won't boot from cdroms, and i can't find an update, blah,
blah, blah. So the install is going along nicely, I do my usual
partitions, have linux as my default os, and load lilo to the mbr.
Reboot, and up pops windows. S***. So, ever the boy scout, I pop in my
boot disk made during installation, and lilo comes up and promptly boots
right back into itself again and again. WTF do I do now? Reinstall?
I have retained the minute Windows partition because it is the only way
I can run my scanner, and play the sims, for now, and I would like to
learn some Samba. Any suggestions for a relative newbie on how to
salvage the install or should I start over again?. FYI, I have at my
disposal 4 boxes, two of which are running functioning distros of linux,
two running broken installs and all running assorted versions of win.
kristin
awake early on a monday and ready to kick some lilo butt...
