Alright, I screwed up on this one. I created a bootdisk in Linux setup without checking for viruses, and now when I boot Linux (I'm dual-booting with win98 with LILO on first sector of the boot partition) it displays a bunch of 10's on my screen. (80s when I take the disk out) Could this be a virus, or did I mess up when I installed LILO to the boot partition?

This is actually quite common so I don't think it's a virus. Something probably went wrong with the LILO install. Try again and see if it works.

Yeah it worked this time. Tried a clean disk just in case though. Thanks for the help.
