Re: Linux won't install on Digital Venturis






Hi all.


	Well I don't know what was wrong, but I'm happy to report that
in the end I succeeded in installing Linux on the Venturis. What I did
was to use the net installation diskette to boot, but told lilo to use
the root partition on the hard disk. From there, i used setup  to
create LILO on the hard disk, and on a diskette. After that, I
installed the rest of the of the sets.

Thanks to all that tried to help.
