Re: Distribution Upgrade



So, before I reboot, I just want to be sure that I have lilo.conf set up right. What specifically should I do? Remove the install= line, or put something like install=menu.b?

When doing a distribution upgrade I got a message telling me to issue the following command:
readlink /boot/boot.b | cut -f2 -d- | cut -f1 -d
in order to find out the parameter for "install =" in /etc/lilo.conf
By issuing the command:
readlink /boot/boot.b | cut -f2 -d- | cut -f1 -d-
[note an additional hyphen at the end]
I get the response "menu.b"
But there is no /boot/menu.b, so my question is, what am I supposed to put in the install line?

You probably don't need to specify the 'install' option at all. Since you dist-upgrade'd, I assume you are at lilo > 22.3. It should default to 'menu', which is probably what you want.

See 'man lilo.conf' for the 'install' option.
