| 269493 | 2004-09-07 06:47:00 | > Thanks everyone OK now Good to see you got it all sorted i-gordon :) Now you have to admit, that doing this yourself manually was a much better self-education exercise rather than running a couple of scripts which would of done this automagically for you in the background. Somethings are better done yourself. :D Bit late for the party now, but if you had a live-CD such as Knoppix, you could of easily reinstalled LILO for Yoper rather than having done a full reinstall. You just boot the machine with the live-CD, mount your Linux / HDD partition, chroot to it and then enter in "/sbin/lilo", and it is done! Although, if Yoper was a recent install and you had no personal files saved in your /home, reinstalling Yoper only takes 10-15 minutes tops anyway. :p Everyone Linux Geek needs a live-CD stashed somewhere nearby, especially if your distro of choice does not have a recovery mode on the install disk. (Yoper doesn't). Murray> Now you have helped getting i-gordon sorted, don't you have some unfinished homework to do on your Yoper system? ;\ |

Just recently it went a little uphill. Thanks Jen C you had it right the first time. Now I've got this little network problem, but I am going to fix it myself. Thanks again everyone. Ian |
