The equivalent of the boot prompt for the hard drive install user is the "append" line of your lilo config.

You can edit the lilo config and save it and then be sure to rerun lilo to start using the new config. Search the forums for "LILO" for more details.

As for editing those files that can only be edited by root, do this:

Open an xterminal and type:

sudo scite /opt/bootlocal.sh

and you should be in business.

Thanks alot, henk1955, for your reply. Of course you are right and that solved the problem I noted above. I didn't know the difference and would have continued in ignorance.
I am still having trouble saving my sound settings, and it just seems a matter of not understanding where to put the lines. I have an Ess 1879 soundcard and sound will appear if I try:
"modprobe sb io_0x240 irq=5 dma=1 esstype=1879
modprobe opl3"
or
"rmmod soundcore
modprobe sb io=0x240 irq=5 dma=1 mpu_io=0x330
modprobe opl3"

exit x
startx

This is the one remaining hardware that I cannot get to work and would sure appreciate some help.
Thanks!

if you kown which lines to type to have sound.
then you could edit /opt/bootlocal.sh
put the lines in there

make sure /opt/bootlocal.sh is in your filetool.lst
so if you backup, and at startup use restore=hda5
the lines you put in /opt/bootlocal.sh will be executed

I am using the lines
"modprobe sb io_0x240 irq=5 dma=1 esstype=1879
modprobe opl3"
and they are in bootlocal.sh. The lines are saved and reappear at startup, but the sound doesn't. Is there something I am leaving out? Right now, my bootlocal.sh looks like this:
"#!/bin/bash
#modprobe sb io_0x240 irq=5 dma=1 esstype=1879
#modprobe opl3"

The opt/bootlocal.sh is on my home/dsl/filetool.1st.

The sound will only appear after modprobe as above and then exit x (control, alt bksp), startx

#modprobe opl3"

all lines that start with # are ignored by bash ( the are used to comment things)
the first line #!/bin/bash is OK ( do NOT remove this #)
line 2, 3 : remove the #'s
