We run all our machines with a serial port, and you can interact with lilo just fine. Just make sure you set: prompt timeout=50 in /etc/lilo.conf. LILO will prompt for input and if you don't enter anything within 5 seconds will continue booting. Mike. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
