Mepis ( kernel 2.6 and KDE 3.2.2 ) for Colin

[kamicota]

OKBut will have to do that in PCLOsC olin

[Bruno]

I knew that . . . you were to quick leaving PCLos . . . . Bruno

[teacher]

Slow and steady Colin! ;)Julia

[kamicota]

Heck Julia/BrunoI went slow & steady even unchecked the Grub Box Did NOT get the make rescueAnd :'( I STILL have the MDK 10 loader BUT neither MDK, MEPIS or PCLOs will load.I rebooted with PCLos rescue cd and that's where I'm at CONFUSED as ever Colin

[Bruno]

Great Colin . . . well, let us see what the damage is :lol:You are in PCLos ? Do:

$ su< password ># /sbin/lilo# reboot

And tell me if you get the PCLos Lilo at boot :DB) Bruno

[kamicota]

Yep BrunoNow just the PCLos liloColin

[Bruno]

Great Colin . . good progress !!Question . . is Windows already in PCLos Lilo ??Here is the first stage of commands:

$  su < password > #  mkdir  /mnt/mepis #  mkdir  /boot/mepis #  ls  /boot

Bruno

[kamicota]

No BrunoWindows NOT in PCLOs Lilo only PCLosColin

[kamicota]

[kamicota@localhost kamicota]$ suPassword:[root@localhost kamicota]# mkdir /mnt/mepis[root@localhost kamicota]# mkdir /boot/mepis[root@localhost kamicota]# ls /bootboot.0300 lost+found/boot.0800 mapconfig@ mepis/config-2.4.23-2.tmb.2mdk message@diag1.img message-graphicdiag2.img message-textinitrd-2.4.23-2.tmb.2mdk.img System.map@initrd.img@ System.map-2.4.23-2.tmb.2mdkkernel.h@ us.kltkernel.h-2.4.23-2.tmb.2mdk vmlinuz@livecd.klt vmlinuz-2.4.23-2.tmb.2mdk[root@localhost kamicota]#Colin

[Bruno]

Brilliant . . step 2:

# mount  /dev/hda7  /mnt/mepis # cp  /mnt/mepis/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.26  /boot/mepis # cp  /mnt/mepis/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.4  /boot/mepis # ls  /boot/mepis

[Bruno]

Great Job Colin !!!Next step:

# kedit  /etc/lilo.conf

( Or use kwrite if you prefer ) This will open a window with the lilo.conf file in it . . . now PASTE at the bottom of it:

image=/boot/mepis/vmlinuz-2.4.26          label="Mepis-24"          root=/dev/hda7          vga=788           read-only  image=/boot/mepis/vmlinuz-2.6.4          label="Mepis-26"          root=/dev/hda7          vga=788           read-only  other=/dev/hda1      	 label="Windows"      	 table=/dev/hda

Then save the file and close the kedit window.Then show me:

# cat /etc/lilo.conf
