[pptp-server] linux instalation

[David Moylan]

how far do you get into the LILO prompt ... according to how many
letters will help you diagnose the fault. i recommend that you either

(a) read the LILO howto
(b) go to the turbolinux site for support

i'm assuming you don't have anything weird like a funny PCI IDE
controller for your hard disk or similar.

we're all assuming, of course, that this box is going to run
PoPToP once you get it up and going, right?

linux installation problems really aren't the topic of this list,
so it probably would be best to join a "linux installation" list
to get your initial problems worked out.

cheers, Wiz!!

TurboLinux 6.0 Server edition on the primary partition of hda1 or first
harddrive. I have Win98 on the second harddrive and it works fine. I have
tried installing the entire batch which is 966MB. Once the machine boots up,
it recognizes the hardrive boot sector but LILO doesn't boot up. No error
messages or anything. I originally thought it was a hard disk geometry
problem so I repartitioned the harddrive to 1GB and elliminated some files
that I didn't need. Once I reinstalled I tried booting off the disk but
automatically the PC rebooted over and over. I tried both of these options
with loading LILO to hda (MBR) and first sector of hda1 (first partition).
Nothing seems to work. My harddrive is a IDE drive not SCSI.
