lilo problem
hi,
i am using lilo-21.4.4-26,to dual boot the windows98 and fc3 from the same h/d,
the lilo is installed to the mbr,the problem is when booting there is just "LILO boot:" prompt, and not the lilo selection window for choosing windows or linux,i need to write linux then enter to boot to fc3 and by defualt wihout any input booting to windows,this is the /etc/lilo.conf:
prompt
timeout=120
default=Windows
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
lba32
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-1.770_FC3
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.10-1.770_FC3.img
read-only
append="devfs=mount rhgb quiet root=LABEL=/"
other=/dev/hda1
optional
label=Windows
when i uncomment the prompt in the lilo.conf,then there is nothing to boot to fc3 and just booting to the default Windows,plz help me,how i can get the lilo selection screen for windows and linux?

Make sure you run lilo after editing /etc/lilo.conf
