Thanks Mike. I'm still trying to figure out what the 'Failsafe' option is used for.

Re: [Re: [Re: [newbie] Lilio.conf using append=Failsafe and append]]
Hi Mike, If I bet a body part or held my breath, I would have died a long time ago...n'yuk..n'yuk. I think, when all else fails, 'Failsafe' allows the user to run in basic text mode when the GUI end dies. And, edit the necessary files, and get the graphical end up and running. Or, it can be for users that prefer text only. Any thoughts from our gurus out there? Roman (Hey, did I figure this out without a manual?)

Looks like the entry to the following file /etc/lilo.conf is: append="Failsafe mem=128M" Roman Thanks Alan Romanator wrote: Thanks Mike.
