Re: [newbie] LILO and timeout/delay
I found that boot magic will hang forever if it can't find the mouse. OS2 boot manager will self-destruct if you have a windows partition over 2 gigs. LILO is faster than boot magic. Use LILO. -- Peace, understanding, health and happiness to all beings!

I needed to try that mem= b/c I was running with only 65 when really i have 192.. So here's the deal.. I run Linux on my second hard drive and consequently have LILO on that drive.. Well I use Bootmagic to choose between Linux and Windows.. When I boot to Linux it then boots LILO and goes straight to kernel loading.. I had once before been able to add the command to make it wait but was unable to recently.. I read in the Lilo manual it was delay=... then I saw in someone else's lilo.conf they had timeout=xxx... either way neither one of them worked.. But, I added mem=192M to the append line ( after I had tested it of course ) and that gets recognized?!?! Any ideas? Is LILO being selective in what it accepts from me.. LOL.. thanks, bosco().

You have to put prompt in the lilo.conf file as well or the delay will be ignored "Knowledge is Power" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note: remove "NOSPAM" to email me. - Original Message - From: bosco [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 11, 2000 8:41 PM Subject: [newbie] LILO and timeout/delay Hey, Here's an interesting one for you..
