Hi,
I have a few questions hope you can help
1.  How to make the LILO boot floppy to not wait on the boot: prompt ?

2.  Is there away to tell LILO boot floppy what type of CDROM the system have
when making it from the setup menu ?  Mine does a search everytime I boot
up the system, abit annoying.  " Looking for Matsushita/Panasonic, 
CreativeLabs, Longshine, TEAC CD-ROM drives".

3.  Is there a way to update Slackware to a current release without buying
new CD every release.  It does not work if I only install packages that 
have been changed since the last release.  At least not for me.  I may be 
doing something wrong.

Thanks,
Tina Le
