Stringent is an unknown quantity at this point
Decided to give Mandrake a try, totally different install to RedHat - another time maybe!

Anyways, I installed Lilo with graphical interface as my boot loader onto /dev/hdc (not the MBR, the BR on my second hard drive). Used Bootpart in WIndows to add aline to my WinXP Boot Loader so I can choose Mandrake. All I got when I selected Mandrake was:

LI 02 02 02 02 (02 just kept coming up). Thankfully I created a boot disk and could boot into Mandrake where I found a tool to configure the Boot Loader. Tried installing to /dev/hdc1 same thing. Any ideas? I don't particulaly want to use a boot disk all the time, would like to get it sorted.

The layout of my drives are:

/dev/hda - NTFS, FAT32, FAT32, FAT32
/dev/hdc - linux boot, linux ex3, swap, NTFS, FAT32, FAT32

Any pointers are appreciated!

TIA.
