Well, go ahead and boot with your boot floppy and check
the /etc/lilo.conf file. you can run man lilo.conf to find
out more about that file. once you have it setup right then
run the command lilo and it will write the needed information
#man lilo.conf
#vi /etc/lilo.conf
#lilo
#reboot
here is a sample of my lilo.conf file
wwarner@wwarner:~$ cat /etc/lilo.conf
cat: /etc/lilo.conf: Permission denied

Subject: KDE - Icons gone
Message-ID: <
01C01280.1F141EA0.wlindley@wlindley.com>
Today when I log in, my KDE desktop icons are all missing, and while I can
click on various apps on the "KDE Start button" they all do nothing at all
- not even an error message.
If I select Gnome or any of the other interfaces, everything works. If I
login as another user, the KDE icons appear and the "KDE Start button"
apps all work fine too.
Any ideas on what went wrong and how I can correct it?
