I have another one. I think this one is pretty strange, and so far, this list has better, answers than I can get from suse support, so here goes... I installed lilo on a floppy. When the penguin menu comes up, the 1st two choices are 'linux' and 'linux 24'. If I pick linux, it goes through the normal boot messages, then it says <5>RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 <4>Uncompressing............................................................................... and the dots continue. I've let it run 10 minutes before I rebooted with 3 fingers If I pick linux24, it gets to the same place in boot, then does this: <5>RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 <4>Uncompressing...............................................................................<3>crcerrordone. and finishes the boot, with this warning: <4>EXT2-fs warning: mounting unchecked fs, running e2fsck is recommended What's going on? Does the <4> mean that this is run level 4? Whats a RAMDISK? If its like a swapfile, can I rewrite or move it? Also, I tried to look at the files on the boot floppy, but I get a message from KDesktop that the floppy couldn't be mounted: ' could not determin file filesystem type and none was specified.' How do I fix this? One more - Is there a manual I can buy that will tell me the correct paths to system files and programs that suse uses? I've been using the Prentice Hall Unix system admin book and oReilly's Motif User's guide, but neither of these are a good fit.
