Joerg - strange things are happening. When you told me to add the new windows
stanza, I saved the old file as lilo.conf.March 'just in case'. I then added
the stanza to lilo.conf. As I said, it worked.
Examining lilo.conf afterwards, I found that the odd mapping lines had
disappeared, and I then seemed to have WindowsOriginal stanza and Windows2
stanza identically set up.
I then deleted WindowsOriginal, and renamed Windows2 to Windows98.
To my surprise, when I get the lilo menu I still see WindowsOriginal and
Windows2. I have no idea where it's reading these from. The current
lilo.conf is attached.
Can you point me at an explanation?
Anne
