UPDATE:
In reviewing my old LILO tools,
I inserted a boot disk, did a
fdisk /mbr
to clean it all out and start anew.
Loaded up antix b3 with the Sid stuff.
Well
All is perfect!
Sid runs very groovy
All the drives are seen on the boot select

All is well.

I lied
Sorry

I was so giddy to see all the correct entries,
I ommitted to select and TRY THEM

Well, Selected windows no go
Selected Old Mepis no go

Only the selection of Antix correctly loads.

Will now play with LILO

why don't you start with the latest release rather than a beta?

bbwf - since beta3 was released for testing, there have been quite a lot of changes. The most important being the change in the antiX repo.

Hope it works for you with the beta.
