If you make a change to LILO be sure to run /sbin/lilo at the root prompt
to effect the change.
I have noticed making changes using the control center does not always
update LILO.

If you are using mdk 7.2 or later you could try using DrakConf to configure
it. Also at the console sndconfig.

I read through the archives and came across roughly three different methods

My opinion of Mandrake 7.1 is that alot of the applications/services are
just to buggy and not thoroughly tested before release. I would suggest if
you like Mandrake to get a copy of 7.02 and alot of problems will go away.
Perhaps 7.2 will address these bugs without creating even more.
