You have to change the bootloaders config file and adjust what to show and what defaults you want to have.

Being that I am a relative newbie, coud you, maybe, give me an idea as to what to change and/or where this file lives?

If you are running lilo it will be lilo.conf or if you are using grub it will be menu.lst. I find grub easier to use but if you search the forums for either file you should be able to find results on how to edit it.

I've modded the menu.lst to no avail, but I finally managed to do a full HDD install and now I'm just prompted for the FB settings.

BTW, DSL revived my old Compaq Pre(tty sorr)io 1621 quite well. Still not fast, but faster than Windoze 9X. I'm starting to feel a little like a Linux user now.

Thanks for the advice,
