lauram93 Posted June 6, 2004 Report Share Posted June 6, 2004 I wanted to change the boot order and delete some things from the boot list. I went into /etc/lilo.conf and rearranged the order but that didn't do anything. neither did changing the default label from "linux" to "windows". also, how do you "run" lilo after you configure the file? thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted June 6, 2004 Report Share Posted June 6, 2004 Anytime you make changes in lilo, you must type "lilo -v" at the command line. The changes will not take affect, otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannonfodder Posted June 6, 2004 Report Share Posted June 6, 2004 If you want more info on lilo and other linux commands, try opening a console (termina) and typing man lilo (for manual) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
