First, the only reason I'm posting is because Drew must be out
of town or something if he hasn't gotten back to you in 24 hours.
Edit: (Or am I reading the time thing wrong - oh, I'm sorry!)
And he's at least 5 light years smarter than me about *nix. ;^)
Boot the system again and run "/sbin/liloconfig" in a terminal
as root and install LILO in the MBR and all your problems will
disappear. NB: It goes in /dev/hda and the Linux partition to
install is your / partition and the Windoze is /dev/hda1
Your LILO entries should look something like
Code:
# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
boot = /dev/hda
#compact # faster, but won't work on all systems.
prompt
timeout = 50
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256
vga = 773
# Normal VGA console
# vga = normal
# ramdisk = 0 # paranoia setting
# End LILO global section
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda6 <-- this should be your Slack / partition
label = Slack-10.0
read-only # Non-UMSDOS filesystems should be mounted read-only for checking
# Linux bootable partition config ends
# Windows bootable partition config begins
other = /dev/hda1
label = Windoze
table = /dev/hda
# Windows bootable partition config ends
