Configuring Lilo

[Zeratul]

Can any one tell be how to set Windows as the default boot partition under lilo???

I would like to have the Windows option appearing first instead of the Linux


I have Slackware 9.1 installed in one partition (hda2)
and Windows Xp on another partition on the same harddrive (hda1)

I've no idea why you'd want Windows as the default boot, but here goes.
Open /etc/lilo.conf in an editor with root privilege. Look for something that looks like this:

image = /boot/vmlinuz
  initrd = /boot/initrd.gz
  root = /dev/hda7
  label = Linux
  read-only

and this:

other = /dev/hda1
  label = Windows
  table = /dev/hda

Swap their positions and save. Then just run LILO and reboot.
