Hai,
I am having Win Xp and redhat 7.1 on my system. I am not using LILO, ( I installed LILO to /boot "not MBR" ). My default loader is windows. I used a command "dd if=/dev/hda2 of=/bootsec.lnx bs=512 count=1" and I copied that file to C: drive and added this line to boot.ini "c:\bootsec.lnx"="Linux", and its working fine, both Os are listed and worked fine. but the problem is when I select linux lilo is coming on to screen and showing options so I want to default load linux when I select linux from windows boot loader.
another is If i have not installed LILO then how can I boot linux (with out floppy)"should in the menu"
