Ice-9:
I "Googled" libranet + lilo and it appears that both Grub and Lilo are included in the distro.

Bump! Anyone got an answer for me? Well I would like to know the answer to #6, but especially #2. That #2 sounds like it's a problem that takes up a shitload of boot time.

#2) Sounds like you aren't shutting your system down properly and it's running a "fsck". How do you shut down your system? Hopefully you don't just turn off the power.

 
quote:The other question now is, how do you go about transplanting Lilo over Grub without re-installing Libranet? Does Libranet offer a Lilo option(probably would easily solve this problem) in the install? I don't remember, but I suppose if no one can I'll probably have to see for myself.

If you have both grub and lilo installed and you have lilo configured the way you want all you do is type "/sbin/lilo". This will make LILO the active boot loader.

Don't just shut off the power, that's for the wind0ze users who give mass market people a bad name.  ;)

I can't shutdown or reboot normally, so I have to log out. Then I use the shutdown or reboot options there.

Hmmm but I will be trying a Libranet re-install.

lazygamer:
It is funny that the review says Libranet is not a newbie distro due to the install. I found the install easy enough, didn't you guys recomend Libranet as a Mandrake alternative?
