If you simply run 'lilo' from the command line, you should get lilo back.
Mike
ps. make sure you take a look at your /etc/lilo.conf file first to make sure
it says what you want.

Yes, you can.  You can edit the commands grub is going to run when you chose
an entry.

Sure, run lilo.

Yes you can, and more, just choose 'failsafe'

It'd be a good idea to review the lilo.conf file first to make
sure all is as it should be

Try:

1) As root, edit /etc/lilo.conf to suit.

2) Also as root, run "lilo".

[expert] Switch back to LILO from GRUB

2000-07-02 Thread Simon Robertson

Hi,

I made the mistake of leaving the LBA star engaged in the Boot Window
during installation. This has meant when I booted I got GRUB instead of
LILO. No matter what adjustments I have made to DrakBoot no change has
happened to bring LILO back.

GRUB is certainly colourful, but you can not do simple commands such as
(linux 3) to get to run level three as with LILO.

Would anyone have an idea how to get rid of GRUB and replace it with
LILO?

Thankyou,

Simon Robertson
