I will send you my http retrieval settings and also what kind of
proxy and web servers I am using.
I would be willing to use a debug version of net-fetch to help
you out with this problem, as well. I am going to re-install
anyways, since my LILO seems to be broken. I have an old NEC
486/100 with a 2 Gb IDE drive that I am installing pure Linux
onto. Unfortunately it continues to give me 'LI' at boot-up
despite the following lilo.conf file:
boot=/dev/hda
root=/dev/hda3
compact
delay 20
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=Linux
read-only
The partitions are:
/dev/hda1 /boot <-- (only 10 Mb)
/dev/hda2 swap
/dev/hda3 /
Also, since I have a pure Linux system, I don't have to have
any of the partitions marked as 'bootable'. (At least I think
that's the way it should be.)
I might only need 'linear' instead of 'compact', though, to get
it working.
Let me know when you have a new root image on that site.
