1. How do I make a boot floppy in Slackware? Do I alreadyhave one? Is this
the same as the lilo floppy I have (see next).

2. I don't boot often but I'm still using the floppy lilo. I have a typical
2 HD system with XP on hda. Will changing boot=/dev/fd0 to /dev/hda and
then running lilo (or is it liloconfig?) as root write to the mbr of hda
and get me off of the floppy? Or is it boot=/dev/hda1? Below is the
lilo.conf file. (note I have 2 win4ln boots.... forget why. I use the
win4linSL (SLackware).

3. What is vga = 773 ? It's ugly as hell... but no big deal. Are any of the
others "prettier" (I have a Samsung SyncMaster 172N LCD monitor with
on-board video on a very new Intel mobo. It would be nice to see a "pretty"
lilo screen so when I show others how Linux "works"... but no big deal.
It's only "up" for a few seconds anyway. But first impressions can be
important sometimes.

Thanks,

Al
