I install LINUX slackware(3.1) succesfully but whem I reset the computer
LILO does not start even tough I tell the install program to write to the
MBR. How ever I reinstalled LINUX 5 times already.

In the third time and fourth I corrected the LILO problem, however when I
load linux it goes you see the initialization process commencing however
it stops and hangs when it reaches CALDERAS PPP/SLIP initialization even
tough I told the install program just to install the "A" set of disk's.

Now The fifth time which was just now the problem that bothered me about
lilo not booting has just happened again, and I still run into windows 95
and the rest of the MSDOS world in my HDD.

Could you please tell me how can I correct this problem.

If so could you email at: Reyes@minyos.its.rmit.edu.au

Thank YOu.
