Re: Raid 1 + lilo
Hello Russell
Thanks Russell, I used "--force-conflicts" and it installed. I should
have thought of that myself.
Now I must find a time to reboot the machine to test it. In the
meantime I will leave the magic boot stiffy in the 'a' drive - just in
case we get a 3AM power failure !
(All the machines that can be conveniently rebooted are running
woody )
Regards
Ian
