Did you rerun lilo after editing /etc/lilo.conf ?

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?
