lol that was interesting...


I installed College Linux and appearently didn't do good enough of a job deleting my previous installation of Mandrake, and when I booted College started to load in the Mandrake boot area. (Mandrake users know what I mean)

Anyways, this wasn't just about that oddity.

I think had it not been for Mandrake being installed, I would have had trouble booting. When I was setting the lilo thing it asked me to specify the location of the kernal image... and not that I know a LOT about Linux, but I don't think there IS one till after I install College...

Any help is appreciated.

Also, when College finished loading through the mandrake boot screen, it just went to a text screen and I don't know what to do there... I said "Yes" when it asked if I wanted the gui or XFree or whatever to load when I rebooted, (and I did reboot after) and it just went back to the text screen. (when I say text screen I mean terminal, but... the whole screen terminal like when you hit ctrl+alt+F1)

Figured it out for myself, but now I have new problems that only relate to College Linux so I'll move there.
