Also, you can change LILO from (KDE Desktop) K | Personal | Mandrake |
LinxConf. It's fairly simple to figure out from there.
I just keep forgetting where all the menus are . . .

Ok, I took your advise and installed it from scratch as opposed to 4win.
Works fine with one major exception. The only way I can boot into is to use
a boot disk. I never have gotten the lilo prompt to set up my preferences. I
still have the option for choosing OS after the BIOS check, but it's the
same one from the 4win I tried to install and if I select linux it still
boots up windows. To make things worse, when I use the boot disk it takes
almost 10 minutes to load up, which I know isn't right. Any thoughts on
this? Once again, thanks in advance.
