Leo Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 I want to install Slackware on my laptop but currently have W2K which I need for work. When I log in at work I get the Novell login stuff up following boot. If I install slackware with a Lilo boot manager will this screw up the Novell network stuff? (I really don;t want to srew anything up as it would mean having to get the tech support people invovled and all they do is wipe the entire thing and reinstall half the apps I need. (plus I don;t want to have to go back tail between my legs and own up to breaking it in the first place by buggering about with it ) Thanks Leo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Can you post a link of what Novell stuff you are talking about? I'm not sure what your talking about there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted December 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 I think this may be a silly question but anyway... When I turn on the laptop it goes through starting windows, Win 2K professional, another wndows start process then prepares network connections. I then get presented with Novell Login v4.83.0.0 SP1. Although I think I may have just answered my own question... If I install Lilo it will handle the boot process before the machine even gets to the first starting windows process won't it? So everything else ought to work without any problems. Is this correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
