I recommend using grub as a boot loader. Go here for an excellent tutorial: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=4622 Make a grub boot floppy and learn a little about grub's command line, and you can use that single disk to boot any Windows, most Linux and several other operating systems. Figure out "update-grub" and you won't need to edit a boot configuration file again. Kevin
thank you for your replies. I will look at grub, the only problem is, the X22 series of laptops have no floppy or cdrom. I did the intial install with a laptop HD ide adapter on my home box. I do have a USB flash key, and have been looking into using this as a emergency boot disk. Don't know if this bios supports USB booting, it's about 1.5 years old.
I did ln -s vmlinuz.old /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19 and that created the link. Reran lilo, and it added the image to the list.
I'm going over man dpkg again. Thanks
