You go back into linux. By default thesystem will detect unclean shutdown
and will try to check/fix the partitions. You can look in log files, once
you get in , for clues to what happened. /var/log/syslog and
~/.xsession-errors could be a good place to start.

Thanks for the tip!
Personally, I prefer Debian because of its GNU emphasis and I happen to
prefer apt to rpm. However, I have nothing but respect for Red Hat for
trying to sell Linux to corporates. If Linux is to scale the enterprise, RH
will have made a real contribution. Meanwhile, RH suffered commercially by

You should always mirror from a "local" mirror; ftp.debian.org is

rsync is far superior

What's proabably happened is that you have LILO installed on
a partition boot record rather than the MBR, and that partition
is still active. Make sure that DOS's FDISK has the correct partition
listed as "A", and run "sys c:" to overwrite the partition MBR.
