The only good way of doing this is back up as much stuff as you think you
absolutely need and a little bit more. Reformat the hard disks and
reinstall debian from scratch.
Slackware is not upgrade friendly, particularly the older version.

One thing that could be more than an annoyance with dpkg/dselect is that
dpkg does not check before unpacking files, and seemingly only after
unpacking the files notices the dependencies, etc. Wouldn't it be more
intelligent altogether to check first, before unpacking?

I should of posted a message to tell people I've got it going. Basically
I re-installed it and the libs, and it worked. Though I had to ftp three

Thank for the suggestions.

You can do this without IP aliasing, but it's ugly. You lose the
advantages of seperate roots, and when the client does a reverse lookup
it'll get the hostname corresponding to the IP (you can only bind one
canonical name to an IP via PTR records). This is the advantage to
using multiple IPs ...

At first I couldn't see much advantage to this since it's a minor task to
change a7 to b7 in lilo.conf after booting from floppy with b7mounted as

It would be a nice touch for lilo to do this though. It would mean you

Hi,
I've run into a problem using a rescue disk that I haven't seen before.
The boot disk finds all the devices (scsi, etc...) and then asks for the

From what I can tell, you need to:
copy your lilo.conf file to something like lilo.conf.floppy
change the "boot=" line in lilo.conf.floppy to "boot=/dev/fd0"
insert a floppy and type "lilo -C lilo.conf.floppy"
This should cause lilo to write to the master boot record of the flo
