I have a dumb lilo question along those lines.....
Is there any way to put an "alias" in the lilo.conf file so I don't need to pass the
init
state at the lilo prompt? For example, want my lilo entry named "linux" to boot the
/boot/vmlinuz kernel to init 3, and the lilo entry "x_linux" to boot the /boot/vmlinuz
kernel to init 5 (maybe using the "append" flags?)
Basically, I'm so darn lazy I'll screw with lilo for a week to save one keystroke
at the lilo prompt. :)

You can go into /etc/rc.d/rc?.d (? being 4 or 5 normally, I chose 4) and remove
all the
network scripts, then when you boot at the lilo prompt
lilo: linux 4
The script's you delete are actually symbolic links (check first). This was you
can create
a boot level (3 is the normal boot) for non network connected access. I used
level 4 personally.

I'm curious, why not use the power button :). APM is a kernal flag, someone more
knowledgable
than me could explain how to change it :).
