boot with floppy

[shang]

Thanks. But I can't continue at this stage:

 

What type of media contains the packages to be installed?

 

       Local CDROM

       Hard drive

       NFS image

       FTP

       HTTP

 

I don't want to reinstall Linux, but edit lilo.conf. In other words, how can I get to the normal shell command mode?

 

Thanks
