Hi. I've done a frugal installation: very fast and very good. But I've a problem: I can't modify "lilo.conf" file... (obviously as root user...) System tells me that the filesystem is not writeable... Also I can't modify writing permissions with "chmod" command...
--> Anyone know how to solve this problem?? <--
Thank'sWhat program are you using to edit it? I believe in beaver there is an option to toggle readonly under the edit menu. Not sure if this will help or not.

I use VI... by root... but the main problem is that if I try to use "chmod" for modify access-property (read, write, execute etc...) of lilo.conf file, the system give me "filesystem not writeable" error.
So it's obvious that if i can't modify access-property (read, write, execute etc...) I can't also modify the file....
that's the problem....P R O B L E M S O L V E D to modify lilo.conf with a frugal installation. Follow theese simple steps: - make a standard frugal installation (that one with lilo...) - start DSL - download extension grub.dsl with mydsl - download the frugal_grub.sh script from the "download" section of DSL site (download the scripd in the same dir of grub.dsl extension) - run the rugal_grub.sh script (with the live-CD inserted)
As for a magic..... Grub is installed in 2 minuts!! And your files (old backups, home, etc) are saved thank's to the first frugal installation (the first step I supposed....)
Bye and a BIG thanks to the DSL developers for the great job they do for us!!...sorry for the double post...Next Page...
