Re: [LI] Lilo Problem

["Panchal V" <skynetin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Rakesh,
Bilal is not wrong.
Lilo -D win  <enter> will work only when the lilo.conf have the entry
Default=Linux .
But in this case, no such entry so the portion which comes first will be the
default. here Linux is first. If we move do$ stange up then default will be
dos ( Window$ ).

Or add entry Default=win in /etc/lilo.conf file using vi editor.
vi /etc/lilo.conf <enter>
lilo <enter>
Now the default will be dos partition.
