Re: Lilo



I think debian-user would be more appropriate for this, I will answer
anyway for the extra question I ask at the end of my e-mail.

The shell command?   It's "cp" you can read about it with "man cp" if
you have the man-db package installed.

"vi".  If you need help with vi do a search on the web for a tutorial.

If you're desperate you could use a more newbie-friendly editor like
"joe".

Whatever happened to vilearn?  It doesn't seem to be packaged anywhere
in Debian, it would be very handy for new users, it's just a script.
