- [Part II of a III part message; stand alones]
-
- I have this system: Toshiba 386/20, 100mb Hard drive internally,
- 387-20 math coprocessor and a Adaptec 1542, with Syquest SQ5110
- (external 88mb removeable)[SQ5110 not yet installed].
- SLS version .99 is installed.
-
- I am new to Linux/Unix and C. I do have novice experience in DOS.
- I have read a lot of the Linux documentation. However, I am still
- new and wonder about the following question(s):
-
-
-
- subj#2: I want to install Lilo version 7 in the following manner:
- OS2/2.0 Boot Master on /dev/hda3. OS2 HPFS on /dev/hda2. Linux on
- /dev/hda1. Information is as reported by Linux fdisk. I keep
- wondering why OS2 Boot Master is not /dev/hda1 and HPFS /dev/hda2.
- Later I will work in my new SCSI disk and controller; it is not
- operable at present. After I download "LILO7.TAR.Z" I know to
- uncompress, then tar it to disk A. From there?????
-
- Question #2: What would I do to get it into etc/lilo (if thats
- where it all goes)[from a dos disk with lilo7.tar.Z renamed
- lilo7.taz?]. how do I make(step by step )? [I did read the lilo.doc;
- did purchase and am reading Unix for Impatient and System Admin book
- recommended from somewhere; probably FAQ_11.25]
-
- Of course, I realize I can try to use the lilo already in etc/lilo.
- [If I could make it]
-
- Question #2a: What is the "linux kernel" I need to reference during make?
-
- If possible could you also direct a copy of your response to my
- "home" address:
