I have not as yet figured out how to do this graphically, but editing the lilo.conf file in /etc seems to do this well enough. I would suggest making a specifically named backup copy of 'lilo.conf' (like lilo.conf.orig) so that the original can't be overwritten while you play around with the changes you wish to make.
I don't know that I would feel comfortable about removing the 'booting from floppy' or 'safe mode boot' options from your menu. They are there for very good reasons, and you never know when you might need to call upon one. Murphy's Law seems constantly overshadows me, waiting for me to take a shortcut and then gladly cursing me for doing so! ;-) You can rearrange the order of boot sections, so why not just place the last resort options at the bottom of your choice? Just be sure that you have your default choice listed first, if you are going to allow the system to automatically pick one after a period of time. And make sure that you move complete groups so as not to leave behind any orphan lines that could cause your boot-up not to work, or not go as expected. If you prefer to let the system hang there for as long as you wish to make a choice, delete the line that says "timeout=100". Does this make sense? :-) T ----- Original Message ----- From: "DaveA" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 8:21 AM Subject: [newbie] LILO Settings Hi y'all. Where do I find the settings for what is displayed when the initial LILO menu comes up on boot? It comes up with a list of all the different partitions on my PC, but I just want it to show the 2 LILO ones, one for Win98 and one for 2000 (or maybe one for both flavours of Windoze with it's own menu?)
