grub/lilo

[mis]

Ok I am not sure which I am using? When it comes up it has a graphical interface with 4 options

linux
windows
failsafe
floppy

I have not seen this until installing Drake7.2. After that I can see it say LILO boot manager while it is going into windows. But, if I go in and try to make changes to LILO config so that I have more than 5 secs to choose it does not change anything? But it does say that is what it is using. WHat am I doing wrong? I also did not see all 4 of these options (boot) when I went into the LILO config so I am confused. All I saw was failsafe and windows? Any help would be great.

I think the newer versions of LILO have graphical capabilities (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

As for the changes you're making, after you make the change to /etc/lilo.conf, make sure that you _run_ the command "lilo" for the changes to be saved.

That's Grub, it's the default with versions 7.1 and on of Mandrake.

Funny thing though. If you are making changes to lilo, once you run /sbin/lilo it should overwrite grub and setup lilo as the default.

That's exactly what will happen. If you are using GRUB then run /sbin/lilo as root, LILO will overwrite GRUB. So, if you are making changes to LILO hoping they will change you GRUB configuration, you are wrong. :)
