never used the cd burning programs in linux, so i have no preference.

This is what is in /etc/lilo.conf
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label="linux"
root=/dev/hda5
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi acpi=off quiet"
vga=788
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label="linux-nonfb"
root=/dev/hda5
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi acpi=off"
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label="failsafe"
root=/dev/hda5
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="devfs=nomount hdc=ide-scsi acpi=off failsafe"
read-only
which one of the hdc=ide-scsi do i remove? all 3 of them? does the whole
"append" line stay there except with the "hdc=ide-scsi" removed?

i can do that part! already modified fstab once....this is starting to get
easier the more we do!
only reason i went back into mandrake control center was to see if the changes
took effect in there. i've never done this stuff before (meaning never done
ANY programming) so i had to check.
and we want to keep the "iocharset=iso8859-15" as is now? it used to be
"iocharset=iso8859-1"
also, in my lilo.conf file, you notice the the "read-only" lines. will this
be automatically changed when i modify the files? or do we have to change
this manually?
Thanks for your help. we'll see where this takes us once i'm 100% certain of
the questions i just asked.
