You have a disk partition problem. LILO, the boot loader, needs to be in the first 8 megs of your hard drive. When the installer asked you where you wanted to put the loader, did you tell it in the MBR, or in the first Linux partition? I always put it in the MBR. Since you're doing a new install, I'd just start again. ---- Robert S.
