Did you not set that up at install? On my system
(Win98/RedHat 6.0) it works beautifully. LILO saw the two
partitions and it asked what label I wanted for which
operating system and which I wanted to use as my default
O/S. Granted, it doesn't delay very long, but it's plenty
of time for me to type "dos" and start Win98 or just hit
"enter" for Linux. :-)

the timeout can be changed to. I thing the default is  50 1/10 of a
second.

[newbie] lilo netscape

1999-07-22 Thread Ric Cooney 

Hi all, first let me thank Civileme for the info for a digest form of this
list.

Now the questions:

1- is there a way to get Lilo to give me a choice about booting w98 or
linux?
I have it set to allow me to type Dos in at the boot prompt, But I would
like it to wait for me to respond.

2- Now to biggie. I use Kde and want to use Netscape. I have gotten Kppp to
launch my isp (Earthlink.net) but I cant get on the net or get mail.
does any one have tutorial for configuring Netscape for Earthlink.net.

This is my first experience with Linux. I'm using Mandrake. I've ordered
O'Reilly  Assoc. but I'd really like to get on now.

TIA
