lilo question
hi
i have a redhat 5.2 linux on my pc, along with win95
when i installed my linux i didn't install lilo on the MBR but used to
option to boot from disk.
now i want to put lilo on the MBR (with windows as default)
i thought about a few ways:
1. edit the lilo.conf file.
this is the file now:
boot =
timeout = 500
prompt
vga=normal
read-only
however i'm not sure if this will do the trick, and do i need to execute
the file somehow?
i'm also not 100% sure about what lines to add to the file.
2. run linux lilo installation like the one when i install linux.
its windows style, and simple to use,
but how do i run it?
3. do upgrade to the linux (using the same cd i used to install the linux).
the only catch here is that i don't want all my configuration (x-server,
network setting...) to be deleted.
does the upgrade over-right the current configuration?
i'd love to here any idea or help.
