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
Was this e-mail sent in HTML? Has a strange blue background... Anyway... Which distribution are you using? And version, as you are mentioning LiLO I am doubting SuSE 8.1 or greater. Not sure I fully understand, when you reboot and leave it alone Lilo should be the first thing that comes up. Lilo should be configured to boot from a menu, the first thing on the list should be what it boots. When you first see lilo, what do you see? Any list? If it used to work you might want to just re-run lilo. I think its just lilo in a terminal as root user :). On Sun, 2003-06-15 at 22:18, Akinola Oke wrote:
