???  I've got dsl installed on my HD (hda5), I read how to edit /ect/lilo.conf to set Windows (hda1) to default. I went into dsl as root & tried to edit file. It won't do a thing. How do I edit the lilo.conf?? I know how to label it for boot, just can't edit it. Also, is there any format to use that is easy to access from win & linux?? Thanks. :D

in xterm go sudo scite /etc/lilo.conf
edit to ur hearts content and save.
then in xterm type lilo, everything will work, if you forget to go lilo then your system might never boot again.

:D I forgot about this post. I went: sudo su, emelfm. opened /etc/ & opened it with beaver. I've got it working good now. Just trying to figure how to save my muted CD volume setting. My CD is screwed up & makes my mouse sound like fingernails on a chalkboard. Irritating as HECK!! Thanks for the help.  :cool:

If you are doing it the other way around from RedHat, what do you need to add to make DSL load?

Thanks

Installed  DSL 0.7.3 to hda2 with RH8 on hda1.  I have set RH to boot with lilo.  When I edit /ect/lilo.conf and run /sbin/lilo I get an error message which says it cannot recognize the boot signature for hda2  (dsl)  Can I fix this if so how.

Thanks
