Hi I have successfully installed Slackware 9.1 on an ext2 partition and am running fluxbox. I have the following questions
I always boot through LOADLIN and and afraid to boot through LILO. I have prepared a boot floppy of slackware 9.1 and boot through this by manually giving the command mount root=/dev/hda8 My Pc config is as follows Celeron 500 64mb RAM 40G HDD 52x cdrom ASUS 1.44 FDD intel i810 chipset Win 98 and office 97 and other win software on C and D drive My problems 1. I have read that LILO writes the MBR and messing this up will also mess up my windows (I require Windows for other members of my family) 2. Is there an option for LILO and Loadlin which is safe (heard of GRUB) 3. I have worked with slackware for a year or so and I want to try out other distros like debian/knoppix/Fedora. Whether these distros have a option of booting without LILO?. PC does not support booting thru CD Thanks and Regards Ninad Bapat
