i have installed dsl to an 80 gig hard drive and everything works supremely, but upon adding my 30 gig vfat drive (just cheap ol maxtor ata 133) and rebooting i get an error Lilo Timestamp mismatch and i cannot boot untill i disconnect the new hard drive and reboot. i have ran damn small linux on both hard drives just having issues running them together. before i zero filled my 80 gig drive all i got was a series of 9's on reboot. i think i am going to have to reinstall lilo? any clues what has happened? when trying to install something as other than dsl i get an error that says non dsl user? only the user dsl may install apps? thanks in advanced.

looks like a few people are having trouble with boot loaders..it just about drove me nuts. i had ordered some DSL book packs and luckily they arrived..this book Damn Small Linux- Linux operating system in less than 50 mb by Mike Weber is awesome especially if you are not a linux wizard and in some cases id say even if you are. Demystified everything for me in just a few minutes..GET IT! Highly recommended read.
