Why do I bother to try install Linux? by Spisefisken2004-07-12 10:52:29

              01 01 01 is definitely b0rked LILO by Morely 2004-07-12 12:48:50
You get that if you ghost a drive to a different sized drive (or at least, I do). I'm sure there are a myriad of other ways to b0rk it.

Right now, I'm looking for the simplest possible howto on replacing LILO with grub on an otherwise-working dual-boot machine. I can boot into WinXP (ugh!) and from CD into Knoppix, but LILO hangs afte a half-dozen dots trying to load Debian.
