HD Install :: triple boot

Your response made it easy to resolve.
Here's the final version I ended up with in that section of lilo.conf:

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-xfs
root=/dev/hda7
label=Linux

read-only
# restricted
# alias=1

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-xfs
root=/dev/hda6
label=Knoppix

read-only
# optional
# restricted
# alias=2

Everything works properly. I cleaned up some of the lines in the lower section of lilo.conf and now the LILO menu is clean with 3 entries:

Linux (damnsmall)
Knoppix
WindowsXP

Thanks to the DSL forum, and especially to Gilbert Ashley for your assistance.
