I installed DSL on my hard drive using frugal install. During boot, LILO does not show a prompt and loads linux by default. I have Win Me installed on my other partition and would like to use that at times.
So, I checked /etc/lilo.conf, which I could not edit. So I made a copy of it and edited it by adding prompt and other=/dev/hda label=Windows table=/dev/hda
I replaced the existing file with the new file I made and renamed it lilo.conf. Then I gave the command /sbin/lilo and I get the error "Fatal: creat /boot/map~: Read-only file system"
When I reboot, there is no prompt, and lilo.conf is restored to what it was orginally. Unitl I can boot windows, I will be kind of lame...suggestions will be appreciated.
