Hello,
I have been using RedHat Linux for about six months now. The love affair
continues... But, I have some questions about LILO. Recently, I figured
out how to get LILO to display a custom message at boot time. VERY cool!
But, is it possible to get the message to display in color? (ANSI Control
characters maybe???) The other question:
I have a system at home set up to be a triple boot system.
RH5.1/Win95/WINNT. Currently, I LILO offers me the choice to boot to Linux
or "DOS". I have changed the labels to '1' for DOS and '2' for Linux. If
you select '1' then you go to NT's Bootloader which give you the choices:
Windows 95
Windows NT Workstation 4.0
Windows NT Workstation 4.0 (VGA)
Is there any way to get LILO to present me with the selection of all thre
OSes from the 'boot:' prompt? That way I can ditch the intermediate step of
NT's boot loader? Does this require that I point LILO to specific sectors?
Any ideas?
Thanks
