Very Computer

I seem to have a strange incompatibility with my system (Pentium 166) and the
Redhat 4.2 slackware that I'm using.  Basically, LILO won't boot my computer -
it freezes.  Furthemore, if I put LILO on my master hard drive, it destroys my
MDR (changes my Primary DOS partition to a NON-DOS partition).  a friend has
said that this might be because I am putting the Linux OS on the slave drive
rather than the master.  Could this be it or does Packard Bell have something
against Linux?  Any ideas?

        Thanks,
                Tom

No.. I have Linux on hdd, which is a slave.  I also use it on a
Packard Bell. an old one, however
Um.. Say, you have Linux on a slave drv.. No LILO on MBR.. I doubt if you
can boot Linux directly at all. (Pls correct me if I am wrong)

Speak of your problem on installing LILO to MBR.. Did you get any error
message while setting up LILO?

Maybe you want to try loadlin to boot Linux from DOS.  I do both: LILO
and loadlin

using boot manager in hda MBR :>
