Your first image in the /etc/lilo.conf file is the default that the system will try to boot. In order to choose another image you have to manually use the "tab" key when the lilo: prompt appears. After you decide which image you want to actually be the default, simply edit the /etc/lilo.conf file to put the corresponding lines in the proper position. -sen > I have included a copy of the LILO.CONF from my Mnadrake 7.2 so that you can > take a look at, ok. > > lilo.conf > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > boot=/dev/sda > map=/boot/map > install=/boot/boot.b > vga=normal > default=linux > keytable=/boot/us.klt > lba32 > prompt > timeout=50 > message=/boot/message > menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw > image=/boot/vmlinuz > label=linux > root=/dev/sda5 > initrd=/boot/initrd.img > append=" hdc=ide-scsi ide0=noautotune ide1=noautotune ide2=noautotune > ide3=noautotune mem=128M" > read-only > image=/boot/vmlinuz > label=failsafe > root=/dev/sda5 > initrd=/boot/initrd.img > append=" hdc=ide-scsi failsafe" > read-only > other=/dev/fd0 > label=floppy > unsafe > image=/boot/vmlinuz > label=ic-linux > root=/dev/hde6 > initrd=/boot/initrd.img > append="hdc=ide-scsi ide0=noautotune ide1=noautotune ide2=noautotune >ide3=noautotune" > read-only > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > does anyone have any ideas? > > Cheers, > Lonnie > ---- > Lonnie Cumberland > OutStep Technologies Incorporated > > URL: http://www.outstep.com > EMAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > : [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Sheldon E.
