Subject: Re: environment
if in the lilo.conf, there is a line in the upper section reading :
default=<default_boot_entry>
it will be the default boot entry even if the entry is not first
in the list
2 little cents ...

You are correct. /etc/lilo.conf seems to be the governing file here, but I
have a number of statements
in my lilo.conf file and even though the Boot_Image statement points to an
image that is no longer first
in the list, it still is the default boot image that is used if the computer
reboots and I am not around.
So, I figured I had to change something 'else' other than just the lilo.conf
file and noticed my environment statements when I ran ENV.
