I was informed that it should actually be called 'Safe Mode'. Someone gave me the
indication that a fresh install of SuSE 7.3 actually calls it safe mode rather than SuSE. I
do not know since I upgraded from 7.2 to 7.3 and SuSE was still in the menu.

This will seem laughable to some of you, but I'm trying to figure out why lilo presents a choice of Linux or SuSE (or Memory Test)?
The mem test I can understand. But I thought SuSE was a Linux. I'm suspecting it may have something to do with different kernels, but am clueless beyond that.
Yes, this label is admittedly badly labeled. "SuSE" is some kind of a fallback, if you compile your own kernel and can't boot it anymore. This image is a copy of the SuSE default kernel.
