I su'd as a root and used > emacs /etc/lilo.conf I changed the text behind default in "windows" instead of "linux" (if I don't I might get beaten up by the other family members ;-) ), timeout set to 40 and I put the win-part (/dev/hdc) at the top of my list (changed OS name from "nt" to "windows"), it is called "other" by category, then 3 times an image w/ linux and then "other" for floppy. However, in the boot menu, nothing has changed, linux still being default, windows is called nt and not at the top of my list, and timeout remains 100. I discovered in the same dir a file lilo.conf~ which has those default settings, but is read-only, dunnow it that has to do w/ it. How the heck do I change this permanently? Graphical or terminal, I don't care... it just has to work. Thanks in advance, Pieter
