After coding for several hours on another project, I remembered that I was going to post a message to this list regarding the compiler errors I got when attempting to compile my mud under Linux. So, I CTRL-ALT-DEL'd my machine to restart it (it was in win95), and at the "LILO", I pressed the left shift key, and at the "boot: " prompt, I typed "linux", as I usually do when booting into The Operating System. Sadly, Linux never made it to my screen. After following the steps above, "Loading linux......" appeared on my screen - and nothing further (usually it goes through a whole slew of loading messages). The system was completely hung (the only keys that did not rebuke me with a beeping noise were the CTRL, ALT, and DEL keys (interestingly enough). So I restarted my computer and tried again several times, resulting in the same system lockup every time. I am at a complete loss for an explanation; I do not habitually edit my master boot record. Does anyone know how I can boot into linux (Alas, I have no boot disks, the last one accidentally formatted while making a backup)? Does anyone know what might be going on? ObCircle: I plan to re-code all of CircleMUD 3.0bpl11 into FORTRAN. If anyone would like to help, please email me (philipe@basix.com). Coders that already know FORTRAN are preferred. Also, would this project violate the License Agreement?
