RedMap, you made a common mistake. You confused your /boot partition with your /boot directory.

When you used "root(hd1,0)", you told grub to look on your /boot partition. Grub then looked on...

If you have more than one OS to choose from, use the up or down arrow keys. Choosing another OS stops the count down. At least it does with my grub. If you only have one OS to choose from, press the...

You're getting the error message 'unable to initialize swap space' because you removed your old swap partition. If you look in your /etc/fstab file, you'll see an entry something like this:

Run the command ls -l /dev/cdrom and then look on the right side of the screen. This will tell you where the link /dev/cdrom is pointing to. It will look something like this:

bluesky, I don't believe it's a bug that's your problem. You said that you have a separate /boot partition. The root command is supposed to point to the partition where grub can find it files to load...

Not all programs have a ' make uninstall '. Try the program ' checkinstall '. Check out this thread .

Could you post a copy of your fstab and lilo.conf files.

You can undo lilo with:

lilo -u /dev/hda

or maybe it's:

lilo -U /dev/hda

I have to go too. Bye.

You have hda1 and hda9 as being bootable. Only one should be marked as bootable. Decide which one and unmark the other. I notice that you still have hda8, which is your swap partition, as a type 83....

You will have to make your Extended Partition, which is hda2, smaller, so that you can make hda3. hda3 will be a primary partition.

This message, Warning: /dev/hdc5 is not on the first disk, is just letting you know that you are not installing lilo in the mbr and therefore it can't boot. But that isn't important here. You don't...

According to Slackware's site, you need to disks to install. A boot disk, which you already have, and a root disk. Thispage gives a list of the root disks. Pick one and after the boot disk finishes...

Either edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst, /boot/grub/grub.conf, or /etc/grub.conf. You should have one of them. Add these lines to the bottom of the file.

Run the command lsattr opera6.adr and see if the immutable bit is set. If it is, use chattr to remove it. Check man chattr for syntax.

Try running it by giving the complete path to it. Also, run ls -l /bin/ksh to see if the program ksh exists.

You're welcome. :)

Try:

man foo | col -b > foo.mantxt

Replace foo with the command name. I hope this works.

BTW, I got this from the man page for man. I remembered that someone else wanted a plain text output...

I got this from Sun's site for installing StarOffice:



I hope this helps.

You're welcome. :)

Try:

/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 vfat noauto,user,ro,defaults 0 0

Then just run mount /mnt/hda1 to mount it. noauto means not to mount the partition on boot up. user allows any user to mount it. ro is...

Try adding these lines to your /etc/fstab file:

/dev/hda1 /mnt/c vfat noauto,user,defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/d vfat noauto,user,defaults 0 0


Then all you have to do is run mount /mnt/d or...

You're welcome. :)

Sometimes there is a conflict between gpm and X window. You can either disable gpm or you could try changing /dev/mouse to /dev/gpmdata and add -R to gpm. Read the man page for gpm to find out more...

You said that xp was on hda1. (hd1,0) is hdb1. So, you need to change the root line to:

title Windows XP
root (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

After you get those two lines listed above, do as DMR says and select line one and add the word single to the end of it. It would look like this:
