I now have debian installed on my other partition and have managed to get X working under Gnome but not KDE. Unfortunately the installer ignored my rh7.3 on the other partition and overwrote the MBR - good job I had made a boot disk. Anyway, tried to mod the redhat lilo.conf to boot debian too but I can't get it to work. boot is /dev/hda in both cases. rh root is /dev/hda1 and debian is /dev/hda2. I can only have one root statement in the preamble block and lilo does not like path names starting /dev in the image line. So how to do this?

Mine (Debian Testing) is set up so:
boot=/dev/sda delay=40 lba32 compact vga=normal map=/boot/map image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20 root=/dev/sdb1 label=linux-pwroff append="apm=power-off" read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19 root=/dev/sdb1 label=linux-2419 append="apm=power-off" read-only
As I understand it the 'boot' statement specifies the MBA and the two 'root' statements specify the partition to boot.
Is that what you wanted to know or have I missed something obvious here?
