[Alug]Lilo boot.b
by bsamuels＠beenthere-donethat.org.uk 09 Sep '03

Can anyone tell me how I can get a boot.b file for Lilo? I'm running Debian Testing and there is no boot.b file in my /boot directory. I also have another machine running Debian Testing and that has no boot.b file either. The Lilo package doesn't contain a boot.b file and running Lilo doesn't create one. The Lilo documentation doesn't explain where it comes from. I'm trying to re-create some Mindi emergency boot discs and that appears to require this file.

If you did you'd clamour to have the meetings in Scotland somewhere, and ever weekend. :-) Jen

[Alug]administrivia: Welcome back to some!

If you were wondering why someone @...demon... was quiet on the list, they weren't ignoring you. There were disagreements between the list and Demon and sourceforge for a few days. The crack blackcatnetworks support squad cured the problem quickly once we noticed it. Sorry for the interruption and welcome back! -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know. http://mjr.towers.org.uk/ gopher://g.towers.org.uk/ slef(a)jabber.at Creative copyleft computing services via http://www.ttllp.co.uk/

[Alug]Still here! :o)
by Keith Watson 05 Sep '03

05 Sep '03

Just been lurking for a while as we have been mega busy at work coping with the aftershocks from a major product release. However I have been following the discussions :o) Just a quick note to say that I haven't forgotten a whole list of things I put my name to, e.g. - T-Shirts/Sweatshirts - Contacting someone at The Forum about use of exhibition/demo spaces - Taking ownership of the graphics web page - Distro survey page - Name badges I'm off on my hols for the next couple of weeks but I will start addressing these once I get back.. promise... honest! Will definitely be there on the 28th in the audience only, sorry my knowledge is far too scanty to try and BS anyone else on this list! As I live round the corner it's not likely that I can offer any lifts but I'm happy to ferry people back and forth from the train station or bus stops. Just e-mail me off list if I can help in any way. And following on from the discussion about meetings, my general view is that I will try and get along to any meeting I can where my time isn't preempted by other commitments. So the point about what's a reasonable distance really breaks down into how long it takes to travel there and back. My gut feel is that anything over an hour is probably too long. But then if it's something like a Debian install and config. workshop.... Hasta Lavista! Keith
