Re: Booting into win instead of Linux

[Bob Dippold]

Add a stanza in the preamble of lilo as follows

 

default=win95

 

and run /sbin/lilo

 

that should take care of it

Subject: Booting into win instead of Linux

Hi there! 

 

History: 

I installed Linux on a second hard disk and let the installation place the

Lilo bootstrap on the MBR of my first IDE.

 

Fact:

Every time the computer boots it loads LILO (as usual, nothing wrong about it) and

I type win95 to load Windows and just <enter> to load Linux

 

Question:

How can I tell LILO to default to windows 95 instead of Linux? (ie typing linux to load it

and <enter> to load win95)

 

Why:

I share the computer with my brother and my nephews, and they aren't the kind of

people who would understand this type of behaviour.... instead I would love them to

just type <enter> and that's it, or just wait for the timeout to lad win95.

 

Thanx!
