I've never been one of those people who just likes to memorize commands; I want to know why I'm typing something! So are Kernel image labels pointing to some part of lilo.conf then, and is this why the commands vary so widely? And how can "mount root=/hda1" work for a start command if a kernel has to load before there's any mount command to call? -- Debee (Deborah Norling) Alternate Media Specialist DeAnza College Phone: 408-864-5815
