I need help recovering from a real piece of stupidity. A friend with Windows on her primary drive wanted to install Slackware 9.0 on a secondary 40 GB drive, and everything went like clockwork until the stupidity kicked in (my stupidity): 1. We tried creating a boot floppy when prompted, but it failed because the floppy was not big enough. and 2. We installed Lilo on the superblock of the root partition on the secondary disk instead of the MBR of the primary disk. Imagine our surprise when we could not boot into Linux. I hope someone has a magic solution for us, so we can get into the new Linux installation long enough to put Lilo where it belongs. We have the full CD set for SW 9.0 which includes two bootable CD's, the installation disk and a nifty rescue disk. Are there some boot parameters for the loader that can do the trick for us? Many thanks for any suggestion, and I promise to work hard on my stupidity. Chuck -- The Moon is Waxing Gibbous (71% of Full) Get my public key from website, http://www.mhonline.net/~chuckh
