It did....told you to change the lilo.conf
Type 'man lilo' (without the '') at a prompt and you will get all the
explanation you need.

Do as I said above and you will get precise instructions.

Then I hate to say it, but it sounds like Windoze is the OS for you.

All it takes is a little bit of reading. Unfortunately Linux is not
an OS for someone who doesnt want to learn anything about the OS on
their computer. It is unlikely that it will ever be such an OS.
Windows is the OS for folks who wish to learn nothing and want it all
done for them. Not a flame...just the facts of life.
And it is unlikely that even the Mandrake flavor of linux will ever be
Windoze like in that respect.
So I suggest that you set your mind to having to learn something about
this fantastic OS or ??
