NumPad problem

[David Baker]

Hello,

I wish I had read your message sooner.  Anyway, I reran the install a couple
of times, and now have bypassed the keymap.  One problem.  I can't get the
setup to create a LILO boot floppy.
Since my primary device is:
/dev/hda01
I need to know what to put in the
/etc/lilo.conf
file.  I made it as a one-line file with
/dev/hda01
but it said
'Syntax Error on Line 2'

So ... can you tell me either how to make a lilo booter floppy, or what to
put in the /etc/lilo.conf file?

Even if you send me one for
/dev/hda1
I'll just copy it, since both machines are next to one another, I can type
it in.

Why would it say that it couldn't copy the files?  It said:
cp couldn't copy system.map not enough space

These were empty floppies, and I had tried recreating the LILO disk, since
the keymap thing had screwed up.  Sorry for the confusion and everything.
Maybe as a Windows programmer, it's good for me to see what it's like being
the new user! <grin>  I have been reading all the documentation I can.

Thanks,

Dave

Hi David:

Sounds like you may have told setup to remap your keyboard (this is about
the only option you should skip in Slackware setup).  Anyway, here's
something that may help.  Look in your /etc/rc.d directory.  If you have a
file in there called 'rc.keymap' just delete it and this should fix the
problem.

Hope this helps.
