Hi Kirk,
Hit the shift key before Linux starts booting. If the prompt still
doesn't show up, you will have to modify your /etc/lilo.conf file to add a
delay for the boot prompt or even force the boot prompt to wait for input
before booting begins. IIRC, the line in lilo.conf would look something

Kirk,
When you first see LILO appear on the screen, hit the left shift key.
You should get the boot: prompt.

If you are just starting out and don't want to mess around
with configuration files or just want to experiment, you can manually

This is for some buggy motherboards which cannot properly deal
with the memory above 16M. If you have more than 16MB of
RAM and experience weird problems, you might want to try Y,

This weekend, I added some ram to my system. I now have two 32 MB
simms,
and two 8 MB simms, giving me a total of 80 MB of ram. My bios recognizes

Add the following to your lilo.conf and rerun lilo, then reboot:
append="mem=80M"

Hi All,
This weekend, I added some ram to my system. I now have two 32 MB
simms,
and two 8 MB simms, giving me a total of 80 MB of ram. My bios recognizes
all ram at bootup, but Linux only recognizes 64 MB. I think this has been
addressed here before, something about a line added to lil
