[pocket-linux] boot.b

[Dave Henderson]

Peter,
 
     I believe that the boot.b file you are referring to is actually only a soft link (shortcut) to another file in the /boot directory (boot-bmp.b, boot-compact.b, boot-menu.b, etc).  This controls how the bootup process goes (ie display a bitmap, display a menu, etc).  This can be adjusted in your /etc/lilo.conf file.  Refer to lilo.conf manpage 5 or you may be able to do "info lilo.conf | more" at the bash prompt to get the answers you need.  Hope this helped.

Hi,

this may be a dumb question, but...here goes.

I am trying to build the boot disk for the first chapter.
I have a SuSe 8.1 system that boots with Lilo.

However, I do not have /boot/boot.b

Rather, I have some files called
/boot/boot.0300
/boot/boot.0306


Is there a way of recreating the file boot.b for Pocket linux?

Thanks

Peter
