After doing a complete install of 6.1 including allowing the install script to format the partition to have 6.1 loaded on at the end of the installation it did not, or incorrectly (I dont know which) failed to install lilo, if I choose to not create a boot disk. If I choose to create the boot disk, lilo installed fine. Good luck, Stuart Tener Beverly Hills, CA stuart@starone.com
What happened after you rebooted in the cases where you say lilo did not install correctly? We have not seen this happening in the lab, no matter whether we created boot disks or not, lilo has been getting installed correctly.
What was happening was I was getting things like "lil" and such on the screen. Not to long after I had decided to just go ahead do a fresh install, I learned that the "lil" (less the "o") was telling me something about how lilo was not functioning properly (I dont remember whether it was was "li" or "lil" or what I got before), but that was what happened. Sorry I did not comment sooner, but I do appreciate your help.
