Both GRUB and LILO are available in graphical mode - it's just some distros have their own way of implementing them. You can modify /boot/grub/menu.lst to alter the order and default boot options. There are GUI tools available to edit this file - it depends on what graphical environment you are running. KDE has a section in its control centre for doing this, but I suppose you are probably running GNOME, as that is the default for Fredora. > By the way when is the next meeting on the website it states it is on > 26th March 2006!!!!! It should be Tuesday 30th Jan (last Tuesday in the month).
