I have DamnSmall installed on "root=/dev/hda10" & Win98Se on hda1. I also have Ubuntu on "root=/dev/hda8". How can I end root after the DamnSmall, so that I can start a new one for Ubuntu? I read somewhere about 'end root', but when I tried that in lilo, it came up as an error. I want to be able to be able to choose between all three OS's. How do I set up Lilo.conf to do that. I want Win98SE first, dsl second & but last. Any help from a linux guru is appreciated. Even though I'm getting pretty good in it. I'm still a newbie. Thanks for your time & trouble.

the easiest way would be to edit ubuntu's grub to add dsl to it

title DSL
root (hd0,9)
/boot/vmlinuz
/boot/initrd

check the correct file names for your version of dsl and add the above to /boot/grub/menu.lst

works every time

I don't work with Grub. Every time I try to set it for Win98 first & rename the titles of the OS's, everything goes to hell. I want to use Lilo to do it. I will keep your idea in mind though. Thanks.

Title Windows98

if this is how it reads grub should boot windows

How can I add Ubuntu on hda8 to Lilo. I do not work with grub. Every time I try? It fries my computer. I need a setup for Lilo.
