Hey Garrett, yes i did pick lilo as the boot loader during install, only becouse thats what I used in my last and first linux install, mdk9.2, in that one it auto detected windows and gave it as an option at boot. I found a page that gave me some info on editing /etc/lilo.conf. It said to log in with root access, i typed in su, got promted for my root pass, typed it in and i assume got root access, [root at localhost scott]# is what came up in the terminal window. When I typed in /etc/lilo.conf it said bash: /etc/lilo.conf: Permission denied, then goes back to [root at localhost scott]# I am very new to linux, less than 2 weeks, what do I do to access the lilo config???? _______________________________________________ > TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota > http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org > https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
