Default Moved 9.1, am installing 10.1

Actually, I din't move my 9.1, I did a fresh install of it on another
partition and copied over /home/* and /etc/*, and it seems to be working.
(and I'm still using the old lilo on the MBR.)

So, I've got a whole fresh partition, and I downloaded all of 10.0
except gnome.

I don't know how to make a bootable CD with Linux yet, so I thought
I'd use bootdisk/install.1/install.2. dd if=bare.i of=/dev/fd0
makes a bootable boot disk, but then I get errors on install.1,
first written with dd, which according to the README is wrong, then
with cat, as it says in the readme. I might or might not look at
that.

What I've done is boot off the 9.1 CD, and am running setup; I
told it to use for source /dev/hdb11/Slack-10.0, and it seems to be
doing OK so far.

And I think I'm not even going to touch lilo - it's in the mbr,
so when I tell it the /dev/hdb1 partition, it _should_ simply
boot what's there, right? (which in this case I'm expecting
to be 10.0).

Guess I'll make a boot floppy first. :-)

Cheers!
Rich
