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.
