I am getting ready in my clutzy ignorant way to try to
rewrite lilo so that I gives me choice between Linux
Mandrake 6.0 and Win98. Does anyone have any
suggestions?
Linux is on the master hard drive and win98 is on the
slave. I notice that linux recognizes the win98 drive
on boot-ing up although it doesn't seem to any but the
first partition on the windows drive.
Any recommendations will be appreciated.
thanks, steve

Real easy. Edit your /etc/lilo.conf file manually. Mine looks like this:
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.13-7mdk
label=linux
root=/dev/hda8
read-only
other=/dev/hda1
label=dos
table=/dev/hda
Just change yours to match your partitions (for instance my / is on hda8 and
my win98 is on hda1) save the file. Then run /sbin/lilo from the command
prompt. Your lilo has just been modified. Reboot and when the lilo prompt
comes up type in your windows label or linux label(or press enter since the
linux label is the default.) My windows label is dos because no matter how
much they upgrade it Windows is still just a GUI for Dos. ;-)
