If you have a floppy and a floppy-drive, there's the grub-disk package. I know, you can't boot your debian system to install the package. I don't know if you can unpack the .deb and use rawwrite on win to make the floppy. There's also the Debian install CD in rescue mode. Boot it up, run a shell in your root partition, edit the lilo.conf and re-run lilo. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
