Aaron,
Hi. I think this might have to do with the LBA setting (maybe in your
bios) of your hard drive. See the following article for common
symptoms such as LI (then lockup, rather than LILO then boot). I know
you get 'LIL' rather than 'LI', but it's probably worth looking into:

Hi,
I'm looking for suggestions (maybe things you've done in the same
situation) on what to do with some old hardware that I'd like to
donate or find a good linux home for. Worst case scenario, I'd
probably just have to throw it out, but I'd rather reuse/recycle it

Hi,
I'm sure developers could answer this with much greater authority than
I could, but I'll try anyway :)
Two ideas:
1. Ask on debian-boot, since this is more their field of specialty.
2. As to your question: I don't think so, but I'm relatively certain
that a number of boot-disk developers ar
Hi,
It's possible that your setup (LAN, cable access, etc.) assumes that
you'll get your IP address via DHCP (dynamic host configuration
protocol) and your Win95 is setup (default,??) to accomodate this
fact. On installation of Debian, you can tell it to make use of DHCP
or you can modify /etc/n

I never have looked at it, but O'Reilly publishes a book on device

specifically. The Linux community provides its own for almost all
printers.
