Re: Boot Hangs on New Install [solved]

[lewikk@rockdal.aud.alcatel.com (Kevin K. Lewis)]

Thanks to all those who responded.

Turns out that I needed to run `lilo'.  I'd feel stupid if I didn't
think that the installation process should have done this for me when
it copied the kernel from the boot disks.  It seems like there are two
possibilities as two why this didn't happen:

1.  The installation instructions are wrong (in which case the Debian
installation procedure needs to be modified, as this would be a gross
oversight).

2.  Something went wrong during my install.

Number 2 seems most likely.  But I saw no errors (and I was watching
closely).

But I am now up and running, and things are going well.  I'm very much
liking `dpkg'.  It has lots of nice features that make it hard to
screw up (I can even install the same package twice with no ill
results).

Thanks again, to the entire `debian-user' list.
