Hmm.... well, after installing Slackware 4, the LILO gave a choice, it never
automatically loaded any OS. It just sits there until you enter either Linux or
DOS.
I changed the lilo.conf file to have either "1" or "2". "1" being Windows... I
did that because I also have hardware profiles "1 Home" and "2 LAN" (Home
in Win98 has NIC disabled for faster boot).
I'm sure that now you have more experience, changing the lilo.conf, running
/sbin/lilo, and then having a menu instead of autoloading OS.. LILO is easier
than a boot disk :o)
