i have slackware 9.1

i installed win XP which overwrote my MBR....

so lilo bootloader suddenly disappeared...

now wot do i need to do 2 get it back....

i dint not make a bootdisk during installation

also my CD-ROM n BURNER doesnt get detected as SCSI

wot is da necessary procedure

i wanna get rid of some services which load on startup....where 2 edit da same??

also if i wanna run certain programs on startup wot do i need 2 do?

Thnx in advance

Ok...

1)
First things first, pop your slackware9.1 CD back into your CD-ROM and re-boot your PC. From here there should be instructions on how to boot back into your Linux partition. Then as root, type /sbin/lilo, you should see something along the lines of this (depending on setup)

root@localhost:~# /sbin/lilo
Added Linux *
Added Windows

Once thats done, try and re-boot your PC without the Slack CD.

2)
What services are you specifically talking about, if its something along the lines of ftp, samba, telnet etc...

edit your /etc/inetd.conf and # out what you don't want running on boot. Once that is done, save the file and run

killall -HUP inetd

3)
If you want to execute commands that will initiate programs on boot, you can try and add this in /etc/rc.d/rc.local

4)
Good Luck

Also i have CD-ROM as hdc n CD-RW as hdd
so i gotta add two lines of append???
as in

append="hdc=ide-scsi"
append="hdd=ide-scsi"

????
thnx in advance

Yes. I think those apend entries in your lilo.conf should work.

As for SQL and AppleTalk, I can't say, I have never used them so I can't really give you something solid to go on.

no its not abt using them.....it loads @ startup...i wanna get rif of it

in those init runlevels ....where can i get its conf file

also when i had mandrake on my system....my CD-ROM n Burner was accessible....

inspite of those entries...i dont find any change

any suggestions?

helooo anyone

The things you're talking about are probably compiled into your kernel. Try configuring your kernel and recompiling without support for things like Appletalk.

try chmod 644 /etc/rc.d/rc.atalk /etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld

this is my fstab

i cudnt get my CD-ROM n RW working

/dev/hda6 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat defaults,umask=000 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/win_d vfat defaults,umask=000 0 0

sumone help

anyone?

I'll have to agree with trickykid on this one. I'd be able to solve this problem, but I'm not gonna take the time to read your lingo. Maybe you should be more patient and actually take the time to use proper grammer and spelling. Good Luck.
