I had e-mail that having an HPFS boot : partition for OS/2 caused problems for LILO, so that you had to have : LILO as the primary boot manager which would boot up IBMs boot manager : which would boot up OS/2. I did not want to trust the rest of the : system to LILO, it was my main concern. The problem with LILO and HPFS is only if you want to use LILO to boot OS/2 off of an HPFS partition -- e.g., use LILO rather than Boot Manager as the primary boot loader program. LILO, so far as I know, doesn't care how any partition it doesn't use is formatted, so using it as the secondary boot loader (e.g., using it AFTER Boot Manager in order to load Linux into memory) is fine no matter what other file systems are used. -- --Rod Smith RSMITH@PSYCH.COLORADO.EDU
