[Cbsupport] cbv distro

[Rohan Malhotra]

hey there,

the txt document does actually say to use a capital C as in , ' lilo -C /new/etc/lilo.conf' i was just too lazy to reference the example properly. nevertheless i did try with a capital C and it did not return '" Added Linux".

just to clarify:

from what i understand i have to first move the /boot
folder from the knoppix '/' system to a new folder called /boot.old

 then make a link to /boot (from the '/' knoppix system) on my cbv hdd
(/mnt/hda2). 

then run lilo (somehow?) and presumably by doing so it will fix it up?

thx

rohan






Hi Rohan,

The lilo command is with a capital C - that will make all the world of
difference. eg lilo -C /new/etc/lilo.conf

After running that command you should see 
* Added Linux 

We'll update the doc to include that info. 

Hope this helps,

Kylie
