LILO Woe
<Sigh> After two days of struggling, I've finally made my system dual boot with Windows XP and Linux(Slackware). First, I needed to change my second HD to be the first one inside BIOS (my box just can't handle MBR, so I use Root). For some strange reasons, the liloconf I got keep creating wrong lilo.conf. Say I added a Linux partition, I got a line something like "boot = proc", but I had typed "/dev/sdb1" for God sake!
When I tried to edit liloconfig, I discovered that there are two lilo.conf--one locate at ./etc, another one is inside /mnt/etc(I mount the linux partition after DVD booting the system). What is the different between these two? After I finished editing, I ran lilo and it seems used the one at ./etc.
Time to install Oracle. I heard that there is some issues regarding Slackware distribution and Oracle. Hopefully, it'll all work out...
