Lilo.conf... What did I do wrong ?

[MADHATter7]

I have been trying to be able to boot between Slack, Debian & Redhat. I finally got lilo.conf to add Slack and Debian last night. But, it also added "vmlinuz-2.2.13" and "vmlinuz-2.2.12" (both for Slack and Debian) Now, I'm glad I got it working, finally. But, what did I do wrong ? Why did it add these two entries ?

Here is my lilo.conf file (best I can remember, I am at work):

boot=/dev/hda
install=/boot/rh7/boot.b
append="mem=96M"
map=/boot/map
message=/boot/rh7/message
timeout=50
prompt
default=RedHat

image=/boot/rh7/vmlinuz-2.2.16
label=RedHat
root=/dev/hdb2
read-only

other=/dev/hda4
image=/boot/slack/vmlinuz-2.2.13
label=Slackware
root=/dev/hda4
read-only

other=/dev/hda3
image=/boot/debian/vmlinuz-2.2.12
label=Debian
root=/dev/hda3
read-only

I may have forgot something, I'll check when I go home & repost if I did. As you can tell, I have copied the /boot contents to RedHat's /boot directory. (Own 15 MB partition on /dev/hda1) In this /boot partition I have folders labeled /rh7, /slack and /debian.

Any insight as to why I have duplicate entries ?? (What really baked my noodle is they all work !)

Thanks for your Help,

Duh !! I was looking at my own post & I may have figured it out, I'll try it when I get home and post an update.
