All, Step 1 of my Weather Station project is to install 10.3 on to an old P2 laptop. I'm using a Dell P2 Latitude with a CD, but no floppy. (I have an external available if I need it.) I'm try with the 10.3 KDE single CD install media, downloaded from suse. I get as far as the bootloader install section. For some reason, I get a dialog box about installing lilo and needing to write the boot sector to a floppy. (I prefer grub, but can live with lilo). I clicked something for it to proceed, and it failed. The hard disk is not boot at this point. I tried booting to rescue mode and mounting the sda1 partition (looks good). On sda1, I have /boot which looks good. /boot/grub is missing menu.lst. I then tried running grub --no-floppy which gave me a command prompt like I wanted. I quit from that, did a chroot to /mnt so /sda1 was my effective root. Did grub --no-floppy --config-file=/boot/grub/menu.lst I can't remember if that gave me a command prompt or not the first time. Now if I try grub --no-floppy I just runs and I back to a standard bash command prompt with no chance to try to install grub. Ideas?
