Hello and thank you so much,

It's ok now ! I writed everything down just for sure. It's here if you want 
to 
read. Anyway the problem is solved. Next I try to get gcc . I thouht it's 
there already but does not seem to be. 

CHEERS, Tommi

I started the assemby from start:

1) I did the partition by fdisk and got dev/hda1

> Good. One hard drive partition. (Do you want more
> than one?)

I did two, the first has the cylinders 1-500

2)  mke2fs  mke2f2 /dev/hda1

mount -t ext2 /dev/hda1 /hd

3) install-to-hd   

To boot your ...
1) reboot system with floppy1...
2)LILO:
3) hd root=/dev/hda1

I suppose I must also install lilo to my harddrive:
1)floppy 1 to boot /dev/hda1

I just entered and got the SHELL

2)execute lilo -v

I got the text:

LILO version 20, Copyright 1992-1997 Werner...

Reading boot sector from current root.
Merging with /boot/boot.b
Boot image: /boot/zimage
Added BL3 *
Backup copy of boot sector in /boot/boot.0301
writing boot sector.

3)fdisk       a    :  to make   /dev/hda1   the boot partition

  I executed:

fdisk /dev/hda
a
partition number: 1
w

And got the text:

The partition table has altered!

calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.

WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or 
resource busy,
The kernel still uses the old table.
The new table will be used at the next reboot.
Syncing disks.


I checked by fdisk -l :

Device       Boot  Start  End       Blocks       Id            System
/dev/hda1   *         1        500      251968+   83           Linux
/dev/hda2           501      1024    264096     5             Extended

I did not work so I booted with the disk1 and in LILO:

After pressing CTRL, enter:  hd root=/dev/hda1 (as usual)
That will boot the HD version.  When you get the shell, enter:
--------------------
edit  /etc/lilo.conf
--------------------
When you have finished editing, press CTRL-X.
Then execute:  lilo -v

Started working !
