Hello !
I have installed dsl from the cd on hda4 with the "install to Hard Drive" menu.

All works perfectly but the lilo as been installed on the mbr and i want to install it on the hda4 partition (i have GAG on the mbr).

How to do ?

Regards

If you can configure GAG (is that a bootloader?) to boot DSL, you shouldn't need to have lilo anywhere.  That may be just an opinion, but it seems redundant to have multiple bootloaders on one machine.

GAG is not a bootloader, per se.

It appears to ba a boot manager, like SBM, but with an X-like interface, rather than a curses interface.

Exact, GAG is a boot manager and I really want to keep it (in fact, on the same PC is installed dsl, opensuse, fedora, mandriva, kubuntu).

I have no problem with all others distributions and I precise during the install process to write the boot loader on the distribution partition (hdax, hdbx).

But with dsl, noway so maybe someone know how to do ?
