Re: debian Linux
Hi all

Oops, didn't know that. Too late, now that I only bought it yesterday. But thanks for the info.
Now, the problem is that the cd coming w/z the book seems broken. Will surely get that replaced tomorrow though(!) Today, I couldn't wait anymore to try debian, so I dl the necessary disks (shops are closed here today, so unable to get cd replaced immediately) from the inet, created them and installed a very minimal system. At another place, where I have access to a cable modem, I will try some bigger install, though. Seems nice, particularly the package-management tools, apt-get, dselect and so forth. :-)
Had just one problem: dual-booting. This might just be slightly off-topic, so sorry. The config file looks as follows:
--------- lilo.conf ---------
boot=/dev/hda
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
delay=20
prompt
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
root=/dev/hda3
read-only
other=/dev/hdb1
label=win
loader=/boot/chain.b
table=/dev/hdb
--------- lilo.conf ---------
hda is where linux resides, hdb is for win. hda has various partitions, hdb has only hdb1. When booting, i select win, but it seems to hang. Using debian 2.1, dl'ed from the net.
I'd be very happy to receive comments / suggestions. Cheers.
Sven
