The system booted fine until I tried to add a new user, I did adduser_new_user_name. I was able to sucessfully login using the new login,but just once.

I am using the Lilo boot manager and acronis 8.0 boot manager, I know I need to be disabling one of them. How can I disable Lilo?

The error message that I am getting as it is booting is /dev/hda2
/dev/hda2 Unexpected inconsistency : run fsck Manually and than it gives some other options but reboots before I can write the other options. I may go back and try to copy the options and than post them.

Originally I was always runnign this system as root but had to add another user bcause I am trying to run winesetupTk and it will not run in root.

I am dual booting and run windows 98 on the other side of the partition.

what's this "posting the same statement over and over" thing you have going on here??

it's not funny...

anyways, from man lilo:

Quote:
-u [device-name]
Uninstall lilo by copying the saved boot sector
back. The '-s' and '-C' switches may be used with
this option. The device-name is optional. A time-
stamp is checked.
good luck...

You can boot using Slackware Cd 2 and chroot to your system, but I would recommend you to install Slack using ext3 or reiserfs, ext2 can became corrupted (yeah I've bad luck ) with a bad shutdown.
