   I have a problem with something I'm trying to do.  I haven't seen it
   addressed anywhere; yet I would have thought that someone else would
   have tried it by now.

   We ran out of disk space on our Linux machine.  We got a larger disk: I
   made larger partitions on it, copied everything over, and then tried to
   make a LiLo boot floppy that works with the new disk.  So far, every-
   thing I've tried has failed one way or another.

   Details:

   The system is actually a joint MS-DOS/Linux development machine, for
   internal political reasons.  Because MS-DOS has less ability to under-

Joe,
 What I believe is normally done - that is what I am most familiar
with - is you install LILO on the MBR (Master Boot Record) of your
hard disk (usually the Master disk, but not necessarily). LILO then
takes over starting up whatever system you want (Linux, MSDOS, OS2
etc.). It seems like you are trying to do some non-standard things
which may be making life difficult. First, you are trying to boot
from floppy instead of hard drive, and second you do not seem to be
using LILO as the master boot record.
 
 To install LILO after standard Linux instalation, just run /sbin/lilo
and make sure your /etc/lilo.conf is setup for the partitions and
booting scheme you would like (see the Linux LILO howto and/or
"Running Linux").

	Good Luck,
