I'm new here, and am not sure exactly where I should post to about this :)
If someone could direct me to a more appropraite place, i'd be grateful.

Several times I have made the major mistake of installing LILO twice. (IDE
disks, tried it on 2 different machines) The first install works great, but
the second time, when the computer boots, it displays 'LI' and freezes.
Formatting the HD doesn't fix it, redoing the partition table doesn't... in
fact, the only thing that does is setting the HD's first (few?) sectors to
00 and redoing everything... (luckily, i had nothing of value on the disks
besides linux!)

Also, I am having a problem compiling the ProSonic sound blaster in my
kernel... I can't cut & paste it 'cause gpm has gone wacky too :) ..if
anyone wants to log in and mess around with some stuff, I'll tell you the
(dynamic) address and pwd if you give me some chat place I can connect to
and tell you.
