Can I ask is this a dual boot with windows, Is that what Label=NT is about, or is this merely a NT file system partition, because , if it is a windows OS, then something is wrong with the first line, you have: boot=/dev/hda6, if you have windows , should be boot=/dev/hda because that passes the lilo boot loader over to windows (called chain loading) to boot windows, On the otherhand if label=NT is merely an empty NTFS partition then you only have Linux on the drive in which case boot=/dev/hda6 may be correct,depending upon whether it is where the boot directory is. Also insert : timeout=200 (timeout = 200 means 20 seconds) between nowarn and message= The only alteration I would make to the linux stanzas is to define the kernel and initrd image types , not strictly necessary if you have but the one linux OS, but essential in dual booting 2 or more Linux OS's, so: image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-6mdk initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-6mdk.img Actually , your append= line is okay, but limited, if you had say a CD writer in your computer you would add something like hdd=ide-scsi between the quotes, on the otherhand, if you want to see a boot script on start up then remove quiet from between the quotes,and I think you need to remove ignore-table as well, cannot quite remember. Hope this makes sense to you,written it rather quickly. John John Richard Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED]
