I've got dsl installed on my HD (hda5), I read how to edit /ect/lilo.conf to set Windows (hda1) to default. I went into dsl as root & tried to edit file. It won't do a thing. How do I edit the lilo.conf?? I know how to label it for boot, just can't edit it. Also, is there any format to use that is easy to access from win & linux?? Thanks. in xterm go sudo scite /etc/lilo.conf edit to ur hearts content and save. then in xterm type lilo, everything will work, if you forget to go lilo then your system might never boot again. I forgot about this post. I went: sudo su, emelfm. opened /etc/ & opened it with beaver. I've got it working good now. Just trying to figure how to save my muted CD volume setting. My CD is screwed up & makes my mouse sound like fingernails on a chalkboard. Irritating as HECK!! Thanks for the help.

If you are doing it the other way around from RedHat, what do you need to add to make DSL load?
ThanksInstalled DSL 0.7.3 to hda2 with RH8 on hda1. I have set RH to boot with lilo. When I edit /ect/lilo.conf and run /sbin/lilo I get an error message which says it cannot recognize the boot signature for hda2 (dsl) Can I fix this if so how.
