By default, Mandrake sets up LILO so that you should type "windows" to load Windows, but this is easily configurable both during and after the Mandrake install. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan.

Re: [newbie] LILO configuration
There are a couple of things you can do, first you can try using KLILO, its a KDE form of changing the lilo configuation. Or you could use DRAKBOOT, a file in DRAKCONF, that will configure LILO too, if you need more help, email me. ~Lance

[newbie] LILO configuration
I just installed mandrake linux on a second hard drive on my machine. My first hardrive currently has windows 2000. I have 2 questions relating to these. First, how do I access my windows2000 drive(NTFS) in linux, and how do I configure lilo to use it as a boot option. My current lilo.conf file looks like this: boot=/dev/hda read-only prompt timeout=200 vga=normal images=/boot/vmlinuz-secure root=/dev/hdb1 label=linux images/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb1 label=linux-up images=/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb1 label=failsafe append=" failsafe" Any help on these issues would be greatly appreciated.

Typically a winmodem reports busy rather than being "nonexistent." Maybe you need to check the port you think it's using. Cheers --- Larry
Re: [newbie] Lilo configuration
Does LILO recognise your Windows 98 installation at all? If so, you can edit the following file: /etc/lilo.conf It may look something similar to: boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b prompt timeout=50 linear default=linux vga=ask image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-3 label=linux initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.16-3.img read-only root=/dev/hda5 other=/dev/hda1 label=dos table=/dev/hda You can change the "dos" label to anything you'd like *without spaces*. For example: label=Win98 Then you need to change the default=linux To: default=Win98 If your /etc/lilo.conf file does not have the "ohter" section, try adding it. When you are done editing the file, save it. At the command line, type: /sbin/lilo [enter] you should see something like. added linux added Win98* The asterisk (*) means it's the deafult OS. --Greg - Original Message - From: "Francisco Javier Rivas Martin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi, there!
