The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Depending on where this error occured, you could either scrogg your boot 
record or the partition table or both, any of which might lead to the 
errors you later experience. Try repartitioning the drive (maybe even do 
a DOS 'fdisk /mbr' first) and reinstalling without the lilo installation 
and see if it works. (actually you might want to try the fdisk /mbr trick 
first. See if you can reboot with the boot disk on that partition. 
If,not, then continue to the rest...you know what I mean?...)

Later,
