Not necessarily , The person only said they have a linux installation ,
nor specifically a RedHat one. On a debian install , IIRC , there is NO
default = label line ... instead ... if you poke around the lilo
documentation , it should say somewhere that the label that appears first
will be the default choice if there is no default = label statement given.
I mean the default base install of course. After installing Debian , I
manually added a default = line ... in fact , there is no "prompt" line
either on a base debian install .... you have to add that manually
too...forcing you to read the documentation for linux if you want a user
friendly LILO ;-)
Hence please don't say Affirmatively , "There _will_ be
..." ,... --- IMO , this would have been a better way to address it :
"There should be most likely an entry called default = foo... if not , add
an entry , default = bar.baz" ...
G'day.
