HD Install :: Problems amending Lilo.conf

bookmark

Lobber, I had the same problem here.

The easy way around it is to just hold the Alt key down while the system is booting from the hard drive after you have installed DSL. It will then stop at a LILO prompt and you can enter "linux noagp" and press return. Once in the system, you can edit lilo.conf and type lilo. Saves a lot of headaches.

Thanks for all your help guys. I tried the -M bit on the lilo command, but was getting a read only error. Not sure why when I was running it in a root access shell.

I got it working by pressing alt and booting with the linux noagp command. Once in, it let me use the lilo command successfully.

All help much appreciated. I have learnt a lot with this little problem.

Now I have to make my DLink wireless card work!

Cheers
Andy
