you can edit the lilo.conf file in /etc/lilo.conf mine looks like this... I use it to boot Win98 and linux: boot=/dev/hda2 install=/boot/boot.b map=/boot/map prompt timeout=100 image=/boot/vmlinuz label=Linux read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.13 label=old read-only other=/dev/hda1 label=win loader=/boot/chain.b table=/dev/hda it may need some adjusting for your personal use.. (esp the partitions...) after you made the changes, always call lilo (as root) to write this into the bootsector... hope that helps greetinx Philipp BTW if you want to boot win ondefault, just put that entry in front of the linux entries...
