I'm trying to reverse the LILO menu so that DOS is the default boot and Linux will appear second on the menu. How can I do this?

Thanks

Here's some of my lilo.conf.. You figure it out.

boot/dev/hdg3
root/dev/hdg8
compact
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
default=linux

Ofcourse, my image=entries and such are below that, but I think you get the idea..

A thought...add this line to your lilo.conf

## example lilo.conf

boot = /dev/blah
...

default = DOS ## or whatever you want to load

...

image = /blah

...

## eof

Where is the lilo.conf file located? I can't find it in my user directory.
