Tweak3D has a section on getting Win98, Win2K and Mandrake 7.0 to play nice by circumventing LILO ... I don't know if it'll work for DeadRat but give it a shot.

have you even attempted to read the lilo manual?

do this for me, before you look like more of an idiot. type "man lilo" at a console and hit enter. READ IT. Edit your /etc/lilo.conf. When you're finished with that, RTFM a few more times.

well, come on now. When lilo's fucking up, it's either the config file (/etc/lilo.conf) or the install is screwed, in which case you just find a lilo rpm (or whatever distro you run) and rpm -U lilo-<version>.rpm.

spydir is being a punk, but he IS right.

pull up the lilo.conf manpage, edit your /etc/lilo.conf file appropriately, run lilo with no options, and reboot.

sorry, I can't help it. I'm used to venting extreme sarcasm on my friends from school, but we're out so I have no one to vent on but people I don't know.

I'll try to watch myself. Otherwise, someone tell me the number for that asshole old guy on the radio who keeps talking about how "kids today are to full of their computers and have no respect for ..." blah-dee-blah-blah. I think he said some about our elders after that, but I don't think he deserves my respect enough to pay attention...
