Hi Janina,
There were many questions, and i'll try to answer them in there
context, here goes:

On 17 Oct 2003 12:00:59  (my local time 18:00:59), you typed::
JS> Where did you get the Red Hat 9 that you used to install? In particular,
JS> what kernel version are you running? What do you get from:

JS> rpm -q kernel

Well, i've got the Red Hat Shrike distro with Speakup from
the linux-speakup.org ftp site. Haven't gotten into Linux since i
installed it, so can't really say what kernel i run.

JS> However, I have no idea whether this will fit on a boot floppy. Haven't

Because it seems Lilo didn't make it into the MBR even if i told it
to. I guess that the partition that holds Linux lies after the first
1024 cylinders of my hard drive, (/dev/hda). Symptoms are: When i
start my computer it boots right into Windows XP, no Lilo, or so it
seems, but remember, i'm a newbie and may have missed something
obvious.
