kmc77 Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Here's a question that I should know the answer to,..... but don't. I have just upgraded from MDK 9.2 to 10.0 CE (Download) - And I did it with the "upgrade" option (Iknow,.... boo / hisss - but it worked perfectly for me). Anyway, I dual boot with XP (only have one more program that I use it for), and now when I get to the LILO option screen i have 9 choices: LINUX, Windows, Linux Non-fb, Linux old, Linux old Non-fb, and some others. I would like to thin out the herd. and get rid of some of these, particularly the (old) options. Does anyone have any advice? BTW, what does the -fb stand for?

Guest anon Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 If your sure all is working OK, then remove the whatever----old entries. Non-fb will boot you to a consol so keep that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 don't forget to run lilo -v when done editing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystified Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 you can also do it by editing /etc/lilo.conf and then running lilo as bvc said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmc77 Posted April 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Quick responses, thanks all. That fixes it. Oh yeah, there is another option at the LILO screen, that (if I remember correctly) is just a string of numbers. It's new with my 10.0 upgrade. What is this?

aRTee Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 That number is the kernel version. Have a look at the file /etc/lilo.conf as root, it is quite readable (but not entirely understandable for a newbie). So, on the console, give the following commands: su (root password here) cat /etc/lilo.conf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
