When i start up my pc i get this little pic with a menu asking me what OS i want. I'd rather just have the boot: prompt how can i change this?
use Red Hat 7.1

In RH 7.1 I get the same low res RH graphic. What ever happened to the god ol' days of just a text intro?

In your /etc/lilo.conf file you should have an entry that says something like

message=/boot/some_boot_message

or something like that. Either delete or change that line to a boot message you want or go look at the file that it points to and delete the stuff that creates the pic.

Good luck

After editing /etc/lilo.conf, don't forget to run lilo for the changes to take effect.

Also, if this is your first time editing /etc/lilo.conf, I suggest commenting out instead of deleting. To comment it out, put a # in front of the line, then rerun lilo
