Well folks
I've read very thing I could find including the README (plan the read it
again this week-end) on LILO.  But I am still not clear as to how it
works.

Below is a copy of my LILO.CFG file:
boot = /dev/sda5
timeout = 50
prompt
  default = linux
  vga=normal
  read-only
map = /boot/map
install = boot/boot.b
image = /boot/vmlinuz.test
   label= linux
   initrd = boot/initrd-2.0.36-0.7.img
   root = /dev/sda5
other = /dev/sda1
  label = dos
  table = /dev/sda

At the moment my box, boots up to DOS if I don't use my boot-up disk.
I would like to flexibility to change this so that it boots up from the
hard drive (when I'm more confident and know/understand what I'm doing).

With the README file, I get lost in the details and can't seem to get
the "big picture" as to what it does and how it does it.

If some-one can take the time to explain in less technical terms, than
the README, I (and I'm sure many other newbies) will be very grateful.

Thanx
Chris Job
