I mistakenly sent the following to one person when I meant to send it to the list. To Oliver, sorry that you have to read this twice. --------Message Follows: I did that and I it still won't boot from the hard drive. I think these type of problems is what made me give up Linux last year when I tried. I am determined to not let my ignorance get in the way this time. Have any other suggestions. I am beginning to consider reinstalling the base system again but this is the 4th time I have installed the base so I am assuming that it is something I am not doing right during the install. The computer is an AMD 586-75 running at 100mhz, 32MB of mem, ISA only motherboard with Award 4.50 BIOS, Cirrus Logic 5426 VL-Bus video card, a NE-2000 net card and a i/o board, the hard drive is a Conner 540 MB. Right now it connected to the network at work, but if I can get it to work, I plan on bringing it home to create a network of 4 other computer to dial in to the internet and provide some protection for 2 windoze computers. Thanks in advance for anyone who can help with this problem. I have read the man pages for lilo, experimented with different settings in lilo.conf and I have read through all of the FAQ's at www.debian.org and www.linux.org.
