I think it's a very reasonable question, and I remember trying to solve it myself. I can't rember quite how I did it, so I'll try to give a few clues and hope someone else can fill in the gaps. Remember, we're talking about linux here. The O/S that is developed the the internet community. RTFM is only possible because someone is prepared to Write The F?????? Manual (WTFM). I think the solution is to read the man page for lilo. Type the command that sets the command line for the next reboot as "dos" or whatever. Run /sbin/lilo to reconfigure the lilo.config file. best of luck david.. -- Binary Bar - Australia's first free access internet bar & cafe. 243 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy, Melbourne, Australia. 10:30am - 11:00pm
