I have linux installed on a system that was formerly Windows and I am having problem booting straight with LILO. I always have to be at the console to type "Esc" for the system to skip to LILO, otherwise, the system will just be rebooting since there is only residue of Windows application left. How can overwrite the booting process to that only LILO boots. Thanks

Boot into linux. Make sure you have an /etc/lilo.conf file setup properly. Run /sbin/lilo as root. If you need a sample lilo.conf post again, or tell us what partitions you have what on, and we can show you a lilo.conf that will work. You can set it up to make lilo boot to linux after x number of seconds, and have windows as a secondary boot option. You can password protect them too, if you desire. -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation
