Hello, list. This information goes out to those using Red Hat 6.2 and later. I have just found a quick and vary easy way to get your new Linux box up and talking after an install. I know it works well because I just did it, and it worked like a charm. Step 1: Install Red Hat to your machine, restart and make sure everything seams to be working ok, and to see if Lilo boots ok. Step 2: log in as root, and then insert your Red Hat installation diskette. Step 3: mount your floppy drive and switch over to the floppy. Step 4: enter the command cp vmlinuz /boot Step 5: Now answer y to the prompt to over right. Step 6: wait until the floppy stops. Step 7: enter the command Lilo. Step 8: after a few seconds enter the command shutdown -r now. After a minute your machine should come up talking like a charm.
