And for those of you wondering whatever happened to hda2, it has almost certainly been set aside for swap. %% %a% David You will note that each stanza entry has a "label" In the sample above the windows stanza is labeled "dos" So as root we add a line to the top of the file "default=dos". Save and exit from editing the file and run lilo. Now the label dos will be the default. Of course use your label as the default, if it says windows instead of dos in your file then use that. Don't forget to run lilo after saving the file since all changes to the lilo.conf file must be processed by lilo before you reboot in order to take effect. ===== SNIP HERE default-dos.lilo-conf.txt default=dos boot = /dev/hda delay = 40 vga = normal root = /dev/hda1 read-only image = /zImage-1.0.9 label = 1.0.9 other = /dev/hda3 label = dos table = /dev/hda
