RE: Installing Debian
I just had another thought, what if I were to run fdisk with the /mbr
parameter. I think that the right parameter or its something close. Then I
would run /sbin/lilo to reinstall lilo on the mbr. Could that maybe work?

Subject: Installing Debian
I just recently bought a set of debian cd's and am now trying to install
debian on my pc. I have some experience installing Linux using redhat and I
have done some freeBSD installs so I am not totally new to this, but I can't
seem to make this work.
Every time I do an install and then do the reboot I get LIL at the boot
prompt. So for some reason Lilo is not being installed correctly on the MBR.
When I set up my partitions I have the / partition on sdba1 so I figure that
this should get Lilo installed on the first 1024 cylinders. Maybe not
though.
The other problem I am now having is that I get a message saying the X
server can't find my mouse. Can someone tell me what tool to use to
configure my mouse?
Thanks,
Aaron
