Have I tried Gentoo for the last time? I've followed the instructions to the letter I've used the "printed" instructions as a check list to install I've used both Grub and Lilo as the boot loader Lilo is the present boot loader I get the same results with either boot loader Reboot, Reboot, Reboot I've booted with the CD to look at the files to see if I fat fingered nope... I've looked at lilo.conf and fstab I've changed settings of the both and put them back nothing wrong... according to the instructions I just can't figure out what I've done that prevents this from working. I want this to work but it's now become a joke that it doesn't work I've installed from scratch 5 times and I get the same results every time. I know your all thinking "what's he doing wrong, the dope!" I've followed the instructions from the Gentoo website to the letter. The only thing I can think of that may be causing this, is that I used dban to wipe this disk before I started. Sam. IMHO I believe that any average user would have put M$ on this machine by this time. _______________________________________________ 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
