| Right, can somebody tell me where I'm going horribly wrong? I've done a slack 9.1 install on my system, a complete fresh install. Once the install is complete I reboot the system and all I get appear is the word Grub, any thoughts? Thanks, Rob. |

You didn't setup lilo on MBR and it's displaying a previous grub setup?? Hopefully you've made a boot floppy? Use that to boot and redo the lilo setup from pkgtool. -- del 8-) |

| Del, I set it up in / rather than the MBR, though I might do a rebuild and try that! Thanks, Rob.

| Done a re-install with LILO installed in the MBR and it now works. Thanks, Rob.
