Hello, Due to some workload I've only had the time to look at this now.

This is my lilo.conf: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /root]# cat /etc/lilo.conf boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b prompt timeout=50 linear default=nieuwekernel image=/boot/2.4.17 label=nieuwekernel read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.19 label=DebianSid read-only root=/dev/hdc1 other=/dev/hda1 label=dos > initrd is not needed if your kernel has all the hardware > drivers needed to boot... So this explains why I get that error? Because it is still the standard kernel from Sid? <for to install make, and want to install it> > if you're referring to redhats "simple install".. > - just boot the cdrom and tell it upgrade > and it will go thru what you got ant ask you > what else you want No, I'm referring to Debians install, when you can choosse: Simple or advanced install. ;) How do I get that screen back? Or, what packages do I have to install to get make etc? (I guess gcc ...?) > rh is such a pita aint it??? Yes! But let me explain, when I got my new pc and started university I wanted GNU/Linux... and redhat was the only one I knew. After a couple of months I got to know Debian (they used it in my studentgroup (don't know the right translation...), and I wiped windows out at home and installed debian. On my new pc I had suffered 4 months to configure my dualhead that I didn't dare to install debian yet.. but now I bought a new hd; so the time has come to switch to debian :). Thanks for the help up till now, I hope you can help me with the rest :) Cheers, -- Rudy Gevaert - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.webworm.org - keyserverID=24DC49C6 - http://www.zeus.rug.ac.be Private mail with incorrect quoting behavior will remain unanswered "While one person hesitates because he feels inferior, the other is busy making mistakes and becoming superior" -- Henry C.
