RE: [Rule-list] Slinky 0.2.7

[Joe Sprankle]

If it would help I can redo everthing I did last night, all three installs
and send you the install log of all three attempts. Let me know. I will only
be at work for another two hours, so if you happen to catch this after that
email me at home address@hidden

Could you please post the contents of the install log, found on the newly
installed machine in:  /root/scripts/install_log

Looking quickly at the scripts, it should prompt for a yes/no response to
installing lilo. Any answer other than 'yes' or 'y' will cause the
scripts to skip the lilo installation.

However, the lilo.conf file is still written to disk. Once you boot, as
root, you should be able to run lilo manually.
Try 'lilo -v -C /etc/lilo.conf'
