My new Maxtor master hd is dying. A new one is coming in the mail and "oh joy!" I get to 1) save data to the slave drive 2)ground myself and swap hd 3)format hd and install Win98 and all drivers and software and updates (THAT is a PAIN in the ass!). The problem is that when I do that I'll lose LILO and therefore access to the slave drive/Linux. I've gone thru this recently (about a month ago) after installing the new hd and wound up reinstalling Linux on the slave drive because I didn't know how to just re-do the LILO part of the Mandrake 9.1 install. Any ideas on how I can 're-install' (?) LILO after the WIN98 install? Btw is LILO the best of boot managers? A second question.... When I try to access a data cd by clicking on /mnt/cdrom thru Konqueror I get this message: "file:/mnt/cdrom doesn't seem to exist anymore". The cd is spinning and you get the sense that things are going to happen but instead that message comes up. I get a similar message when I put a music cd in and fire up KsCD I get "Unable to enter file:/mnt/cdrom. You do not have access rights to this location". What do I need to do to give all apps and users access to the cd-rom? _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
