| Quote (dhatcher2@neo.rr.com @ Oct. 18 2004,17:16) | OK, I made a 128 MB swap and a 1500MB Linux main. I did the XTerm sudo su mkswap and swapon commands. Do I install to HD before I edit LILO or must I edit LILO before (I am dual booting with Windows 98SE and obviously want a choice on bootup. Also, I read about mount points, is this part of dual booting and if so exactly how do I make a mount point and edit lilo? I went LILO edit and at the bottom under other OS I see:
# If you have another OS on this machine to boot, you can uncomment the
# following lines, changing the device name on the `other' line to
# where your other OS' partition is.
#
# other=/dev/hda4
# label=HURD
# restricted
# alias=3
Can someone please tell me exactly what to do here so I don't hose up my box? I am clueless (obviously). |
you can't run "lilo" from the live cd, you have to run
editing /etc/lilo.conf file wont do any good...besides when you do a hd install if you have an active swap it turns it off!!!
Then upon reboot it will autodetect your swapfile/partition
So just do the fullbore HD install, it will ask at the end to you want to install lilo...hit yes, install, reboot and POW!!!!!
