Booting Lilo without floppy...
 

I finally got slack booted (and its bad ass :) ) but i would like to boot it without the floppy. I was told to run the command "lilo" in the command prompt... did that, now i have to edit /etc/lilo.conf, but im not to sure what to edit... Im also planning on connecting the computer to a router, so if you have any good information on that please help me out...

Well, there's
man lilo
man lilo.conf
or
The Linux-Documentation Project's Lilo-HowTo

Cheers,

when you installed slack 9 during installation it askes where you want lilo to be placed you could have done what i did and chose to put it on the root partition of your hardisk and set that to be bootable later. its alot simplier than making a lilo disk or trying to configure ur lilo urself. well good luck to u

If you're dual booting with Win2K/XP Pro (don't know about XP Home)... You might want to try this:

1) Install Lilo on your Slack partition (don't laugh yet, read on...)
2) Get BootPart from http://www.winimage.com/bootpart.htm
3) Use bootpart to create a boot image for your Slack partition.

Bootpart is nice for multi-booting, it's works perfectly on my tri-boot box (XP Pro, Slack, and NetBSD).

Or just type "liloconfig" at the prompt and work through things from there.

You could set LILO to be installed to your MBR:

boot=/dev/hda

Then add an option for Windows:

other=/dev/hda1
label=Windows

Then add option for linux

image=/boot/vmlinuz
root=/dev/hda2
label=Linux

Have fun!
