One more question..

I managed the HDD install just fine, and lilo boots ok..

except that I still need to pass parameters to the kernel to make it boot properly (as in mem=16M). I can update the lilo.conf in /etc on the root partition, but then how do I get lilo to update itself? I tried to modify the 'mkliloboot' script so that the append=" " would include the parameters I need to pass, but the file system is read only..

Any thoughts? I may try to copy it to the root partition and mess with it there..

Looks like I answered my own question..

I copied the 'mkliloboot' script to the HDD and modified the 'append=" " ' section to include the kernel parameters that I need..

With that said, I have a request for future versions of DSL.. why not modify the 'mkliloboot' script to prompt for custom kernel parameters so that others don't have to go through all this messing around. (unless there's already a way to do this during the lilo install)

my $0.02 worth
