I had to re-iinstall Ubuntu. For some reason without Grub, it wouldn't completely load the desktop. I loaded it in "expert" this time to keep it from doing a boot loader. It still tried to take over. I just stuck in the DSL-Live CD and did 'mkliloboot', hda. Got back my modified menu & everything works OK for now. I gave the thing 3.5G & did install with the dsl internet hookup & it told me it ran out of room. I'm going to have to ask them just how damn big this thing is. Slowly, but surely I'm getting it going my way. I will not let it beat me now. I've learned the tricks. Later. :cool:

Just asked a bud of mine, he installed ubuntu in vmware. was about 1.5
gig install from cd, but had no devel tools, so hehad to aptget them to build a proper kernel and get rid of that initrd crap. now it's 1.8 gig.
if you did a ftp install,and loaded everything you will have more, and updates and such will require ALOT of extra room to d/l the pakcages, unpack them then install, so you could run out of space with 3.5 gig.
try allocating 5 gig if you have hte disk space, or do smaller updates.
But on the bright side, you're now a lilo guru.
Just remember it has to be able to see what it's adding and you;re all set.

I might add one of the other blank linux drives to that drive. I will require a restart from ground up, but just a couple small changes in the lilo.conf I have now would set it up perfect. I'll just make sure & save it before I redo anything. Got a program that will allow me to read & copy linux to windows & my G: drive is close to 80G. I can store anything on it. I'll up it tommorrow. No kitchen work on Sundays at Momma's. Gives me one day to relax & play with the comp. Catch you later. ???
