But only if I have the prompt set! /etc/lilo.conf now reads: boot=/dev/hda prompt timeout=100 root=/dev/hda1 install=/boot/boot.b map=/boot/map image=/vmlinuz label=Linux initrd=/initrd.img append="devfs=mount hdd=ide-scsi" And the kernel files are all "2.4.23-1-386". Now I just have to work on Item 4 above. Thanks very much for your help! -- Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
