[ILUG] Removing primary disk

[Michael Turley]

Thanks Fergal,

    I gave that a shot but I think that BIOS has to read an MBR or 
something before control is handed over to LILO. A careful read through 
man fdisk, I suppose! Either that or get myself a new HD and build a new 
Linux from scratch . I wonder whats the best distro at the moment....

Cheers,

Michael
