-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Hi Janina, There were many questions, and i'll try to answer them in there context, here goes: On 17 Oct 2003 12:00:59 (my local time 18:00:59), you typed:: JS> Where did you get the Red Hat 9 that you used to install? In particular, JS> what kernel version are you running? What do you get from: JS> rpm -q kernel Well, i've got the Red Hat Shrike distro with Speakup from the linux-speakup.org ftp site. Haven't gotten into Linux since i installed it, so can't really say what kernel i run. JS> However, I have no idea whether this will fit on a boot floppy. Haven't JS> looked into that. So, let me ask the threshold question about the boot JS> floppy. Why? Why did "it become necessary" to boot from a floppy, as you JS> write? Because it seems Lilo didn't make it into the MBR even if i told it to. I guess that the partition that holds Linux lies after the first 1024 cylinders of my hard drive, (/dev/hda). Symptoms are: When i start my computer it boots right into Windows XP, no Lilo, or so it seems, but remember, i'm a newbie and may have missed something obvious. - -- /Krister crisekstrom at bredband.net Get pgp keys here: mailto:crisekstrom at bredband.net?subject=get_pgp_keys -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-nr2 (Windows XP) iD8DBQE/kC52ODlJeoMTOQsRA79gAJ48m5oJaoyU86uXhYp31KRtjdtP4gCcCuH9 Lj9gTgYcHSu9+8lthc/9tD4= =uoHM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
