i dled max linux os.
i havnt tried any of the max or linux type of os.i had split my drive up & left 5gs setup for linux.
i did the floppy disk & went my way trying to install it.all it kept on saying was not enough room.in the end there was 11 gs out of the 40.it did give a warning about clearing one part so i let it do it its self.
was amazed how quick it had installed.chuffed to bits i reboot.wallop nothing left.iv just lost loads of big dl.
i put partision magic floppy in to see what had happened.i had 1
25mb section with 23 mbs left.the other 38gs was completly took up with this yellow linux.
everytime i restarted i couldnt even load the desktop up.
it had told me to make a new password for the root
all it kept on doing was wrong login.but if i put root then the password it got a semi logon,
then i got a reply you have mail.
carnt see why as everything had been wiped of previously.
it has took hours to even get xp reinstalled due to this lilo coming up.yet i had used the pquest floppies to delete the linux of & reformat for xp.
it made out all is wonderful with any other os.
& being its not ms i was hoping to have a play at least.
what has gone wrong & how do you log in anyway.
i tried the couple of things it said,but havnt used dos before.
for instance
/boot:
/rsu: . well something like that
was it just a bad install? but did it 3 times & all were the same
25mb then the 37gs with me room.
thanks parrot man
