- I was installing MCC-interim version 0.97pl2 on my machine with DR DOS, and OS/2
- with BootManager. Everything went fine until I continued using the instaructions
- and installed lilo (first from floppy) then the hard drive. I maybe ignorant, but
- the docs (installation) said nothing about lilo writing into my master boot block.
- Now I'm stuck. I have downloaded the lilo documentation - I doubt that I can
- uninstall it. My BootManager no longer boots, although the information for all of
- the partitions is still there and I can access them by booting off floppy. Oh well, I've got the weekend to rebuild my machine :(
- Maybe this info can be included in the documentation for installing mcc0.97pl2
- with a warning.
