You been keep saying that you need to see my lilo.conf. What you see above is all I have in my lilo.conf. Yes you are right I have a Knoppix install but I am not using the xfs file system. What is the difference between a initrd.img and a initrd.gz. Most importend, how do I fix this to be compatible with the Debian standard. -- Dennis Kaplan http://vmclinks.com http://guyscope.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
