Q: How to create a Linux boot disk
A: If it is Redhat or TurboLinux, you have a file zimage below / boot. Its name may not
This, but vmlinuz-x.x.xx (later is the version number). More convenient is
MkbookDisk - DEVICE / DEV / FD0 2.2.11 ~~~ version number
Need to have VMLinuz-2.2.11 in / boot /.

Q: How is the loadlin.exe under Windows?
A: Copy [Linux-CD]: / dosutils / loadlin.exe C: / / Where which directory
Copy [Linux-CD]: / dosutils / autoboot / vmlinuz // can also be / boot / vmlinuz
// The position of the two files of each release is different, please find yourself
C:
CD / // haha, enough, row: P
Loadlin vmlinuz root = / dev / hd ?? RO // Because Linux starts to check the file system,
// So use read-only,
// The system will automatically recount into read-write
// now Wait ...
// I entered Linux.
Login: root
PASSWORD:
// You can then make some fixes, or if you have replaced it with VMLinuz that is being used.
// The one on the original CD, then you don't have to use Lilo to guide it. No time to use loadinglin to enter
// Linux can be.
// For example, when your LILO does not boot the system normally, you can do the following
# LILO // If you want to boot other Linux box with Lilo, remember to take it MOUNT
# reboot
Q: How to install RedHat6.2?
A: Take ftp://ftp.pku.edu.cn/pub/redhat-6.2/i386 as an example.
Please use rawrite.exe to make a bootnet.img boot disk (available
..... / i386 / dosutils found Rawrite.exe, ..... / i386 / images
Find bootnet.img
Use this disk to guide, press E-text to prompt step by step.
Note: The ISO file is a disc mapping file and cannot be used for FTP installation.
- by Julienw (Julien Wood)
You can boot from the hard disk, follow these steps:
However, this requires a Linux machine. I do these work, you go to FTP Raise the file.
(Note: Some files mentioned below are
FTP: //ftp.scut.edu.cn/pub1/linux/net_instal directory)
1. mount -o loop -t msdos bootnet.img / mnt / tmp_mount
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Have a empty catalog
2. CP /MNT/TMP_MOUNT/Ininitrd.img / mnt / _c
~~~~~~~~~
Just put it, just get the win below Win.
3. Now, we can use loadinglin.exe
Reboot to windows / dos, use loadlin.exe to boot to linux net install ...
Loadlin boot = vmlinuz initrd = initrd.img
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ is the document it gets above.
There is this file on the CD, and many distributions are different, you can find it.
Alternatively, it also copies the same side of the initrd.img as described above.
4. Step by step, install linux from the ftp site.
Q: The SWAP area always says no free primary, why? In addition, 64M memory can not swap?
Original partition, Win98 C, D, E, may correspond to HDA1 HDA3 HDA5
Boot Manager installed a PQMAGIC Calculated a zone HDA2
There is still a surplus space of almost 1.4G, and is separated from SWAP zone 64M.
Other to native, but old NO Free Primary error.
what happened?
A: Primary partition can only have 4. You put swap to the extension partition.
- by DJQ (Jasmine * Ice Black Tea)
No, I have 128m and 64m swap partitions.
In RH6, only 48M free in 128M, while 64m exchange partition full free
- by FZS (Snowflakes)
Swap partition is a must, size, no matter
Out of the extension of the divided partitioned 8M

Q: How to resume LILO
A: if no need to modify /etc/lilo.conf, run 'lilo' Directly Will DO.
Use floppy disk to boot linux, the run lilo
Or use your Linux CD / DOSUTILIN.EXE and Autoboot / Vmlinuz,
Copy these two files to your C: /, then loadlin vmlinuz root = / dev / hdax, pay attention:
/ dev / hdax refers to the partition of your Linux's root.
- by Linuxfarmer (LinuxzeAlot)
After that, confirm that lilo.conf is correct, running LILO.
Q: How do I get LILO from the hard drive?
A: Enter dos / windows
FDISK / MBR
- by SingleBoy (Seller Eagle)
If LILO is in MBR, then fdisk / MBR (under DOS / Windows)
Or LILO -U (under Linux)
If LILO is in root, then delete the partition directly!
- by Wyhui (Hui)
Q: How to delete Linux partitions?
A: The simplest is to use PQMAGIC to directly delete partitions and format the format required.
Or, use FDISK under Linux, pay attention, this way suggests novices
FDISK / DEV / HD?? Represents a hard disk device that will operate
After entering, press the T key to perform a modification operation of the partition type, select the partition number, then fill in 6, this is
FAT 16 SYSTEM ID, or you can use B (FAT 32), C (Win95 FAT32, LBA),
D (Win95 FAT16, LBA). After writing q with W command, then reboot into Windows,
The hard disk partition can be formatted.
