Here's an example (you'll have to edit the details of the Linux images and appends): boot=/dev/hda3 root=/dev/hda3 install=/boot/boot.b map=/boot/map vga=normal delay=20 # Linux image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.1.125 label=Linux append="mem=96m aic7xxx=ultra parport=auto" read-only # Linux image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.33 label=Linux-33 append="mem=96m aic7xxx=ultra" read-only # Linux image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.34 label=Linux-34 append="mem=96m aic7xxx=ultra" read-only # Windows 95 other=/dev/hda1 label=Win95 After changing /etc/lilo.conf, be sure to run /sbin/lilo before you shut down. -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP key from public servers; key ID 32B8FAA1 ======================================== "Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep."
