LILO Problem

[TaeShadow]

I am having a weird LILO problem. When I boot up my computer, LILO starts. This is normal. However, I do not get a prompt. It simply says "LILO", waits a few seconds, and then proceeds to load Linux without giving me the opportunity to type anything. I want a prompt! How can I fix this?

Maybe add to timeout=XX to lilo.conf? I think that's the line.

You can edit LILO in Linuxconfig. I just went through making some changes to mine.

LILO is the program that allows you to boot which OS you want at start up, i believe (correct me if im wrong)
how do you select which one, is it a GUI or CLI?

Add a line
prompt
at the head of your /etc/lilo.conf, run lilo and next time you reboot you will be able to type something.

When you get "lilo" that is the prompt. If you have more than one stanza in /etc/lilo.conf you can hit <tab> to get a menu. If you need to type parameters to lilo.con then you can extend the timeout in /etc/lilo.conf.

We'll get thisright yet!

Ok, I got it resolved. Bernd's suggestion of adding "prompt" to the lilo.conf file fixed it. Thank you.
