Ok, ok I get the point. It's the linux equivalent of DOS's config.sys and autoexec.bat, right.

Not exactly LILO is the LInux LOader and offers you a prompt at system startup where you can choose wich OS to boot. I'd rather say that the rc files and initscripts are the very far away cousins of autoexec.bat and config.sys.

Re: [RE: [[newbie] realy dumb and revisited Q]]
Um, actually, neither. COMMAND.COM is the DOS shell- i.e. bash equivalent. COMMAND.COM is, however, much more limited. The equivalent to autoexec.bat config.sys would be startup scripts- the /etc/rc.d directory tree. LILO is a boot manager- there's no real equivalent to it for DOS, because DOS is, well, lame. LILO chooses which of the kernels you have on your system to boot. You can't have, much less boot, multiple kernels in DOS. LILO also has the ability to load boot sectors from any partition off any hard drive. DOS's MBR loads only the boot sector off the active partition; it cannot handle multiple PRIMARY partitions, much less multiple bootable (active) partitions. LILO, on the other hand, can even boot from logical drives inside extended partitions. That, as little and incorrect as it may be, is my two cents... -Matt Stegman [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Tue, 17 Aug 1999, Theo Brinkman wrote: Actually it's closer to the linux equivalent of DOS's 'COMMAND.COM'. - Theo Joseph Gardner wrote: Ok, ok I get the point.
