Hi Michael,
For booting into runlevel 2, when selecting the boot options from LILO's menu
just add 2 at the back so instead of '2.4.0' you type '2.4.0 2'. Or just add
it to lilo.conf - the line 'append=2'
Enjoy, and by the way 2.4.0-0.31 is not the real 2.4.0 version. Might want to
try downloading the real package from Cooker.
Regards,
Michel
