okay, correct me if im wrong. When we are brought up, some are better for electronics, some for programming. Meaning that good programmers make good programs on every architecture. Why should decent schools stick to 68k amiga? thorough time, I learned that good programming practice doesnt constrain

I think you can workarround this by telling lilo that you have 128m of ram. I use loadlin, with the parameter mem=64m I think lilo is the same, but yu should check first see the debian instalation manual.

I don't know enough about it to comment on it either. Did you add the "aic7xxx=ultra" to 'append=' yourself though or was this done automatically? Oliver Elphick wrote: > Christopher Barry wrote: > >> In /etc/lilo.conf, > >> ... > >> # Linux - 2.0.33 > >> image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.33 > >>
