Problem with booting
Hi!
I installed Slackware on my computer so I thought I could have dual booting with ME, but that didn't work. So I installed another bootmanager that I find on internet. When I startup my computer the second bootmangaer that I did find on internet lets me choose system. When I have choosen Linux, then come Slackwares bootmanager up and lets me choose betwen Linux and DOS. When I choose Linux, the screen just fade away and it's just black. My computer is a P2. 333Mhz, 128MB RAM.
I hope someone has the answer that I'm loocking for.
Pardon my english.

Depending on the bootloader you're using (most likely lilo, check out the HOWTOs at this link:
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-...os.html#OSBOOT
You'll most likely want the "Multiboot-with-LILO" doc...

Hope that helps.

Can I see a copy of your lilo.conf? I might be able to rewrite it for to make it work.
