My major problem at this point is that I don't seem able to get write access to the partition hda8 (where Xandros is installed). I know how to edit the lilo.conf and what needs to go into it now. I got in using Knoppix 3.4 but had no write access. Then I tried booting the system and pressing TAB to get to the boot prompt. However as there is only one label in the current lilo config that's *another* problem I hit. I decided to *try* 'Windows_XP root=/dev/hda8' (I can't do any worse than I'm doing) to see if that would at least boot into the right partition. In its' less than infinite wisdom LILO made the label for Windows XP with the ® symbol, and I'm damned if I can get that entered in the shell. *scratching head* Julian -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEYnQ6js/5IBdCO1ERAqP1AKCa1G82RCVAWjmKfDnpnQduEDPHpQCggWa1 NKJCsCHpd5Xq2T5toyJ5hLc= =ZSh7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
