when i boot up i have to type 'linux'; i want a pic..

[Ludootje]

I used to have a picture when I boot up my computed, which gave me the possibility to choose fo linux, windows or failsafe.
Now, I have to type 'linux'/'windows'/'failsafe' I think that thing is called LILO.. How do I change that?
I have Linux-Mandrake8.0

I actually don't remember what INIT level is it, so go to your control center (in mandrake) and go to the Graphics settings, go throw the 'Advanced settings' and it will ask you if you want the GUI start at boot ;) . There is another (simplest) way, but i don't remember ...

How about you configure LILO to use the default after a certain timeout period ...

Because people voted it so ...
I'm just shy of 4.5 too ... that would put me at 5 stars like I was for a long time.
