Thank you very much for your extremely informative response. As well I want
to thank all the others who responded to my question.
I checked my /etc/lilo.conf file and sure enough, just as is indicated
below - I had ' default=liinux' in my /etc/lilo.conf file. I now have it
removed (commented out)... and I reran /sbin/lilo and the first entry in my
lilo.conf file is now seen as the one that will boot. That is
what I wanted and so now all things are well. At least I hope so. Any
additional comments (if any) are invited..
And once again thank you MB and all the others who helped..
