[Sheflug] Debian

Hi

Just started to install some more software into my Debian GNU/Linux 
laptop and it's telling me that I *will* install a 2.4.16 kernel.  If 
I don't do that it won't let me install any other software.  Says... 

"unpacking kernel-image-2.4.16-586
You are attempting to install an initrd kernel image (version 
2.4.16-586) This will not work unless you have configured your boot 
loader to use initrd.  As a reminder, in order to configure lilo, you 
need to add an 'initrd=/initrd' in your /etc/lilo.conf
I repeat, you need to configure your boot loader.  If you have already 
done so and you wish to get rid of this message, please put 
'do_initrd = Yes'
in /etc/kernel-img.conf"

Questions...

Where do I put 'initrd=initrd' in lilo.conf ?  Or, is is something 
like 'initrd=dog' or cat ?  Or, duck ?  And, where do I put 
'do_initrd = Yes'  in the kernel-img.conf file ?

-- 
Thanks



Richard
