Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

i had mandrake 9.0 installed and desided to switch to redhat on that partition, (i completly reformatted my linux parition), but the lilo from mandrake is still there. no matter what i try its the only bootloader that will start up. (i belive i put it on my master boot partition) what can i do. i hate booting from a floppy.
i already did that. my lilo is set up fine .thats not the problem. the problem is an old boot loader comes up instead. one that i cant seem to find or override.
well like already mentioned, did you run lilo for the changes will take effect that you made? its located in the /sbin folder if you didn't know or if you didn't do this step yet...
ok can you try to do two things...
1) post your present lilo.conf file that you are trying to get working...
2) and, post the output after you run the lilo command..
