The letter reads as follows, Dear SuSE Linux User, Shortly before our release date, we have unfortunately found a bug in YaST2. If you want to install LILO (the LInux LOader) with YaST2 in the /boot partition, a fault occurs. Installing LILO to the MBR or to the floppy disk functions without any trouble, however. Remedy: In these caes, you should use YaST1, by booting from the second CD. Current hints can be found in our Support Database, at the address: http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/de/html/bugs63.html Have a lot of fun! Your SuSE Team I hope this helps answer your problems and welcome aboard the wonderful SuSE train. hf> Kind regards, hf> hf> Hagen Finley hf> Longs Drugs hf> Walnut Creek, CA hf> -- S.Toms - tomas@primenet.com - homepage is in the works SuSE Linux v6.2+ - Kernel 2.2.13 You have the body of a 19 year old.
