Re: Debian 1.31
It's worked both ways for me. At home, Debian and DOS on the 1st drive,
Warp on the 2nd, Boot Manager controlling all. As I recall, I partitioned
the 1st drive with Warp's fdisk (including BM), then installed Debian off
the 1.3 custom CD. Chose to not have it default, but using LILO.
Configured automatically by the program.
Work: LILO controlling Debian and Warp. Followed the simple example found
in the docs. Took a while to realize that one has to run LILO after
altering LILO.conf (before rebooting) to reconfigure the map.
Next time, when I've got nothing better to do, I'll reinstall the 1st at
home and reclaim the lost 1.5 Mb from B.Manager. LILO works quite well!
