Re: lilo problem
Hello,
Due to some workload I've only had the time to look at this now.

Wel, I removed the initrd line from lilo.conf, and redhat boots fine,
but when I try to boot Sid I get a kernel panic, "no init found... try
passing init= ...etc".
This is my lilo.conf:
[root@webworm /root]# cat /etc/lilo.conf
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
linear
default=nieuwekernel
image=/boot/2.4.17
label=nieuwekernel
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.19
label=DebianSid
read-only
root=/dev/hdc1
other=/dev/hda1
label=dos

So this explains why I get that error? Because it is still the standard
kernel from Sid?

No, I'm referring to Debians install, when you can choosse: Simple or
advanced install. ;) How do I get that screen back? Or, what packages
do I have to install to get make etc? (I guess gcc ...?)

Yes! But let me explain, when I got my new pc and started university I
wanted GNU/Linux... and redhat was the only one I knew. After a couple
of months I got to know Debian (they used it in my studentgroup (don't
know the right translation...), and I wiped windows out at home and
installed debian. On my new pc I had suffered 4 months to configure my
dualhead that I didn't dare to install debian yet.. but now I bought a
new hd; so the time has come to switch to debian :).
Thanks for the help up till now, I hope you can help me with the rest :)
Cheers,
