How do I go > about doing this? On previous post, I was right about adding in the "nobiospnp" to the append line, forgot to mention put it in with a space after the last item already there and inside the quotation marks. Then go to a console and su to type in at the prompt " /sbin/lilo That should write everything to the files and it will now boot with nobiospnp next time. If you don't run lilo like mentioned above it will not write the changes to the file. Or so I believe. Anyway, HTH -- Dennis M. registered linux user # 180842
