So how would you choose Linux?
Edit /etc/lilo.conf to have something like this:
# LILO configuration file # Start LILO global Section # If you want to prevent console users to boot with init=/bin/bash, # restrict usage of boot params by setting a passwd and using the option # restricted. #password=bootpwd #restricted append="vga=0x0301" boot=/dev/hda #compact # faster, but won't work on all systems. vga = normal # force sane state menu-scheme=Wg:kw:Wg:Wg read-only prompt timeout=100 default=dos # End LILO global Section # root = /dev/hda3 label = dos

No, I meant how do you have the time to choose? My system uses the following, and I can select from the menu for 4 seconds, although it defaults to lx. (on hda3) Terence append="vga=ask idebus=66 hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi" boot=/dev/hda #compact # faster, but won't work on all systems. vga=normal message=/boot/message menu-scheme=Wg:kw:Wg:Wg read-only prompt timeout=40 # End LILO global Section # image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/hda3 label = lx # image = /boot/vmlinuz_24 root = /dev/hda3 label = linux_2.4 optional # image = /boot/vmlinuz.suse root = /dev/hda3 label = suse optional # other = /dev/hda1 label = dos table = /dev/hda # image = /boot/memtest.bin label = memtest86 # image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/hdb3 label = lxb
