You can open up /etc/lilo.conf in a text editor, remove the lines for
the Windows boot and re-run lilo - then reboot - here's an example:
prompt
timeout=50
default=Linux
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
vga=1
lba32
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-3
label=Linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-3.img
read-only
root=/dev/hda5
append="hdd=ide-scsi idebus=133"
other=/dev/hda1
optional
label=Windows
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The section starting with "other" would be the one that you'd want to
delete - don't delete the linux one!
By re-running lilo, you write this information to the boot map - so
after you've modified the file and ran lilo, on your bootup, you won't
see ANY Microsloth at all!
Peace.
