Greeting from Japan (Hi all!) I migrated into Debian 2.1 Slink (with a tiny bit of Japanese environment), and it is cool to have it on my computer. That said, I also mistakenly configured lilo, my Windows 9x partition won't work -:) I know that there is a configuration problem in boot.0301. I don't have "boot.0301" in boot. I know myself that in order to boot Windows 98 on my first partition, I need a right "boot.0301" file, so that I can recover from that. Is there anyway I can recover boot.0301 without backup? I can't access to /dev/hda1, as the earliest part of the partition is messed Don't worry if I got to lose "that" partition. Though I'm gonna lose lots of pictures files and job hunting documents, I know I won't use Windows anyway.

See - other people do it too!

Have I missed something? What is a boot.0301 file? As far as I can make out, I'm not in possesion of one.

If the partition is shafted, then you'll probably have to nuke it anyway, so you may as well do away with Windows anyway.

(Following my insane mistake) The file "boot.0301" in /boot can be made, IF you are stupidly enough to write: boot=/dev/hda1 <- That goes to boot.0301 in your lilo.conf. On Redhat, it usually is "boot.0300", and Debian installation (providing you also have earlier partition) "boot.0302". Will it work? Of course not. ------------ Did anyone install egcs-libstdc++ in Debian Slink 2.1? I really want to upgrade my gcc & g++ for a little improvement. Is there any deb package for it, or a simple tar.gz available on their homepage? Also, does anyone know an little application that can monitor ppp connection for Afterstep/WindowMaker (like "asmodem") ? Thanks in advance.
