You need to use nano to edit the file eg
Code:
nano /etc/lilo.conf
I'm not sure if root user account is disabled by default ... you could try ctrl+alt+F1 for a console login ... login as root & enter root password. Once you have finished you should logout and press alt+F7 to return to the GUI.

I think nano is not pre-installed in Xandros. You can use any text editor ( GUI or Command Line ) to edit that file. Make sure to login as root or gain root privileges before editing that file.
