Hello again, After doing a first "successful" install using lisa I've decided to reinstall COL2.3 because I couldn't get the GUI to work since I had no /usr/x11r6/bin directory I couldn't start the server. I finally decided to start over again and everything went very smooth again or so I tought! When I got to the final part of configuring Lilo and chose the partitions to boot from I've decided to go a different way from the first install. My choices were: 1- /Boot/vmlinuz/ (Linux Kernel Image) 2- /Boot/vmlinuz/ -2.2.10 Modular (Linux Kernel Image) 3- /Boot/vmlinuz/ -PC97-2.2.10 Modular (Linux Kernel Image) 4- Dos or Windows The first I install COL2.3 I chose only number 1 and number 2 but then I couldn't get the server to run or configured. This time I chose all of them in the following order 4,3,2,1 and saved it. When I've got back to windows to install bootmagic, it installed fine but only showed me two choices (I was thinking it was going to give all 4 choices, I was believing that some of these linux choices acted like some kind of safe mode boot or something), fine I restart the computer and when at boot up I choose Linux I get to the first screen of Linux where it says boot and press enter and I get to a DOS Screen asking me to enter some parameters. Confused confused confused. Now tomorrow I want to reintsall it again but this time can someone tell me what choices should I make when I get those four choices at setting up Lilo? And of course what are differences between these 3 choices of Linux? Thank you. P.S. Does anyone know where I could take my computer to get this darn thing installed for a fee once and for all? I live in NJ. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
