I know how to configure lilo, it's just that I can't copy the image off the floppy. I can't mount the floppy, to be more specifig. My kernel supports every fat type and the minix filesystem but still... On Wed, 12 Apr 2000, you wrote:

I did it with cp.
Basically what it comes down to is this: I've copied vmlinuz to a floppy and now I want to coppy it to another PC. So far I haven't been able to copy it to the other PC.
Use cp (or mcopy) to copy it to the other computer, then use 'lilo' to install it.
Don't forget to edit '/etc/lilo.conf'.
If this is the first time you are playing with lilo, first create with lilo a bootdisk on a floppy (boot = /dev/fd0). That's a good excersise and you can only 'destroy' a floppy, not your HD.
Before any big change, I always copy 'lilo.conf' to 'lilo.conf.fd0' and with 'lilo -C /etc/lilo.conf.fd0 -b /dev/fd0' I try it first on a floppy.
Good luck, Cees.
