How to start without the startup disk
 

I've got this old linux box with RH6 and it only starts with the start up disk.
What can I do to be able to start the system without using the start up disk?:study:

Has it got lilo or grub installed?
Try
which lilo
and
which grub
on the command-line as root.

Grub

What shall I do after the Which grub?
Because I'm not online in linux but in WIN. I cannot manage to configure my internet connection in linux. I cannot get my modem to work. So you see, I need to get all the info I can get without being back and fro, booting on linux and booting on WIN time and time again and again.
Thanks for the help.

I'm not familiar with grub ... what you'll need
to do is to build a /etc/grub.conf that tells
grub to install itself in the MBR of your HDD...
That way you won't need the boot-disk anymore.

OK, I see what you mean.
