Bruno Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I see what is wrong Dale . . . a space placed itself in my first command . . ( funny enough on my notes where I copy and pasted it from the space is not there )We do it again: # mkdir /media/hdb1# mount /dev/hdb1 /media/hdb1# cp -r /media/hdb1/boot  /boot/drake# ls -al /boot/drake Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Hi DaleHere is what we will do: # cp -r /media/hdb1/etc/lilo.conf  /home/dale/drake-lilo ( we back up Drake's lilo . . . Drake's /boot is already backed up )After that Re-Install Mandrake 10.0 !! :thumbsup:This is what I have in my notes about your hdb: hdb1 ... 1.9 Drake10hdb5 ... 3.9 Drake10hdb6 ... 9.7 Drake10After you reinstalled Mandrake and have it boot . . we will restore the original Lilo that included all the other entries we had before with 2 simple commands :DWhat we will do with SUSE we will decide later . . . I think the version you have is useless, but we need the backed up Drake files that are stored on it now . . . so be careful Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 By useless I mean that that vesion is to limited to be of any good use . . . there is no GUI editor we can use . . . and at a system-filecheck it gets corrupted.This is the SUSE "Personal" . . . a kind a crippled version of SUSE and it is giving us nothing but trouble all the time.If you want a good altternative: PCLos !! . . It has all the browser-plugins ( and java ) set up by default . . so you can play chess ;)You can order the CD here: http://www.pclinuxonline.com/pclos/html/download.html ( see last line : http://on-disk.com/product_info.php/products_id/35 $3.99 ) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longgone Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 ...Now Bruno ... I have gathered that you are a great fan of PCLos ver x ,, BUT this version of SuSE i am using say right on it SuSE 9.1 Professional DVD rom ... but I be off to re-install Drake 10.0 ....

Bruno Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 We will discuss SUSE later . . . . :DFirst get your Drake back going . . . . . and tomorrow I will give you the commands to get the full-blown-multi-boot-lilo back up and running . . . so you can boot your Drake 9, Knoppix, Cooker, Slackware . . and SUSE again Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teacher Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Have you tried going into a GUI, right clicking on the taskbar, then select Add and then adding your applicatiion. I believe KPPP would be a KDE button? Bruno should be back on in about 9 hours if you want to wait. Why not go ahead and run the commands he left you?
