- I had a bit of a drama today with a hard disk cable and trashed my boot blocks
- and partition map. I managed to recover the partition map but I can't boot
- from the hard disk. I used to have shoelace running but I have lost the
- winiboot file. I am happy to swap over to LILO but I don't have a binary.
-
- The real problem is my only boot diskette and root diskette is the old
- version 0.95a from Jim Winstead. I can boot from these but most of my
- prgrams crash as I have been running linux 0.99 and the 0.95a Image bombs the compiler so I can't compile LILO or winiboot.
-
- Could some kind soul put me in the direction of a linux 0.99 boot diskette
- or a biniary for winiboot or LILO as I can compile. I do have rawrite on
- a dos disk.
-
- thanks in advance.
