| 119148 | 2003-02-07 12:04:00 | That looks suspiciously like a Grub boot loader. Are you sure you're using lilo and not Grub? | Gorela (901) | ||
| 119149 | 2003-02-07 12:10:00 | Yep, I ticked LILO particularly during setup, (GRUB is the setup default, and I've it on other instalations), but decided to go with LILO because it can be uninstalled, whereas GRUB can't. | nz_liam (845) | ||
| 119150 | 2003-02-07 12:11:00 | Are you sure? I couldnt find it the first time either. I did a search using wildcards. Have you got a separate boot partition? Try again from root partiton(/). Dont know if Linux also has "hiding system files". |

| 119152 | 2003-02-07 12:25:00 | Yeah its in root partition then (/) | pluto (2246) | ||

| 119156 | 2003-02-07 12:48:00 | Umm, well in url it shows "/boot" and contents of it. Type "/" in that location bar and hit enter. If its not there then i dont know, Maybe you have got some other system config. But thats how i got mine. |
