When does this lilo prompt show? For me it always starts the
installation procedure. How do you persuade it to ask for
arguments ?
Anyway, it does not solve the problem.
One possibility would be to persuade it to boot the
'live' image on the CD and mount the HD from there.
So another immortal question:
WHERE IS THE LIVEBOOT.IMG ?
Really, is it that difficult for the Red Hat developers to cook up
the two disks (liveboot and rescue) and put their images on
the redhat site ?
Best wishes,
Wlodek
