Lilo

I would like to simply use lilo on a boot floppy, but when I ran the config it seemed limited to installation on the hard drive. Am I wrong about this, and how would I go about preparing a boot floppy with lilo. I use debian 1.2.4, and need to access old WfW 3.11 software, on the first hard driv

Suggestions for cheap pentium motherboard

I have debian 1.3.1 on an old 486 dx4100, 16 M, and was pondering installing a new motherboard, but I have very little in the way of funds. Any suggestions on tried-and-true but in- expensive motherboards? I am also planning 16 M of additional ram at the same time. -- Gary -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE
