You may need the "prompt" option in /etc/lilo.conf, and then I think the <TAB> key at the prompt will display the choices. But also read over the man page for lilo.conf, especially about the install= option which you can use to bring up a menu automatically. If in doubt, post the contents of your /etc/lilo.conf file Tom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
