Re: Linux problem

Hi George,

Yes, I just repartitioned hda using fdisk from a windows 95 startup floppy.
The current partition table for hda just lists 1 active partition hda1 as a
normal FAT16 bootable partition. There is also, for some reason a note that
there is about 29K of unallocated space left but this isn't in a partition.
The disk is only a small one - 240Mb so I don't think I will have exceeded
any limits. Hdc hasn't been touched since I installed RH6.1 and that is an
840Mb disk with 3 partitions - 16Mb boot, 64Mb swap and the rest as root.
I'm running the RH6.1 a bit stripped down as I only need it as a terminal
into my other linux machine but I've only omitted things like the
documentation, Netscape etc which shouldn't affect the running of the
kernel. Everything seems to be pointing towards some problem with the boot
map but I can't see any advice on how to fix it other than simply running
/sbin/lilo which has no effect. I wonder of it is possible to reload lilo
alone without having to reload all of linux?
