So I have a previous installation of Mandrake on hdb5 and I had Mandrake install lilo on MBR.
Now I just installed Knoppix debian style on hdb5 (replace mandrake). During the installation I was asked if I wanted to install lilo on the MBR and I said yes.
After installation was complete I rebooted the system and was presented with my old lilo screen with mandrake logo decorations. Anyone know why? Maybe Knoppix didn't install lilo? I've checked around and made sure to disable BIOS virus protection.
Using the live cd i was able to get access to the lilo.conf which is located /mnt/hdb5/etc/. It seems like there isn't any connection between the lilo on MBR and the config file. Anyone know how I can re-install lilo?
