Built a new dual boot box for a friend who immediately decided he needed to modify what I had done and used Partition Magic to re-size the win98 side from one to three partitions. Upon completing this task he attempted to reboot and got to LI before the system hung. I'm getting the box back to "repair' and am assuming all I need to do is reboot using the disk #1 from the distro (SuSE 7.3) to reload Linux, then just rerun LILO and all should be O.K. Am I missing anything here? dave -- David C.

Been there :-) I usually do that, start an install selecting no packages, then the installer will put you into the lilo screen if I recall. Or, you can boot the installed system, then run Lilo. On 1 Apr 2002 at 20:58, David Johanson wrote:

Yup, that's exactly what I had to do. Started the install and selected the fix option, then when complete reran lilo and all was fine. Thanks to all who made suggestions. dave Jerry Feldman wrote:

I have been involved with Linux since about 1993 when we at the Boston Computer Society installed Linux on our mail server, and in 1994 we started out Linux user group, now the Boston Linux and Unix (http://www.blu.org). Over the years we have held installfests and I have installed most of the major distributions, but for my personal systems I use and recommend SuSE. Probably one reason is that it is a bit closer to Compaq's Tru64 Unix WRT: administration. For the most part, I have not had any serious problems with any of the SuSE distributions I have used over the years. Also, I make it a point to purchase a release every so often simply to support the efforts of the team that produces SuSE (even though I can get virtually every distro free).
