OK,thanks.Unfortunatey I am still using floppy.I would like to suggest that the creation of the boot floppy should include provision for multifloppy.You see I did not instal LILO on the mbr,just on the root partition,so I needed the floppy to boot knoppix initially before enabling the Winxp to include the new knoppix in its boot selection screen.
Guess I will have to use SBM.
