This has helped me as well. Now how do I change the wait time. It loads to quickly, and I would like to incease the delay default.
You set this with the 'delay' option in /etc/lilo.conf. The number after the equals sign is the number of tenths of seconds to wait. For example 'delay=10' would mean that LILO would wait 1 second for input, while 'delay=80' would mean LILO would wait 8 seconds. This is a global option, so comes before all the image sections. See 'man lilo.conf' for more details.

With the older (7.0 or lower) version, I can set which option to boot in Lilo, but the new 7.1 does not allow me to?
2 solutions :
First : you can edit your lilo.conf and put in first of the images lists the one you want to boot by defaults ;
Second : edit tyour lilo.conf and put befor the images list the line : default = name_of_your_preferred_image
I think this is the best solution. Make sure is goes in the global section of lilo.conf...
Then run /sbin/lilo ans it will be ok for your needs.
