LILO bane error when writing MBR 1490
This CHS looks okay
I prefer to see ordered parbreastion table, fdisk, 'x', 'f' (I think), dunno if this id what confuses lilo.
Looks okay
That's fine, old boxen not much use with windoze ;)
No, space for linux is a little small, swap looks too big, what fits in a 1GB NTFS, WinNT4?
On a vaguely similar laptop with 72MB memory and 6GB HDD I have multi boot win98 + slackware + isolinux slack install as laptop not have a CDROM:

Michael Heiming Thanks for the URL to the linux document project. However I was after something that...
default = windoze #default = 2.6.16.18a #default = 2.4.33-pre3 #default = 2.4.32-hf32.6
image =boot-bzImage-2.6.17-rc5a optional label = 2.6.17-rc5a append = "pci=biosirq"
image =boot-bzImage-2.6.16.18a optional label = 2.6.16.18a
image =boot-bzImage-2.4.33-pre3 optional label = 2.4.33-pre3
image =boot-bzImage-2.4.32-hf32.6 optional label = 2.4.32-hf32.6
I added "geometric" to global section of lilo.conf, also un-remarked the three rules lines for ntfs. So now we get: LILO version 22.5.9, Copyright (C) 1992-1998 Werner Almesberger Development beyond version 21 Copyright (C...
image =boot-vmlinuz-ide-2.4.31 label = slack
other =dev-hda2 label = isolinux table =dev-hda
other =dev-hda1 label = windoze table =dev-hda
# end
heads; halve cyls; done' algo, giving the old 8GB HDD size limit.
