So are you using a floppy to boot into Linux then? Assuming that's the
case, you should be able to edit /etc/lilo.conf as long as you are root.
If you want to use BootMagic as the boot manager, you'll have to
configure Lilo to install in the root partition's boot sector as opposed
to the MBR. In ot

anything anymore) and i've set the isdn encapsulation to rawip (I've also

Hi Lee. Welcome, and it's great to see you over here! (got your email
also)
I don't have any USB devices, but as far as I know, there's no USB
support available in Linux until the 2.4.X kernel gets released, which

There's a DOS based program called findpart that may help. You can find
it here:

If you do a search on Deja News for findpart, you'll find some posts on
it, and some are answered by the author that may help explain how to
best use it.
