Hi,
I'm running Windows 95, I installed Red Hat Linux and LILO. When I boot the computer it takes Linux as the default OS. I would like to make Windows the default OS. Could you tell me how to configure lilo.conf to make that happen.

Just move the Windows stuff so it's before the Linux stuff, then run /sbin/lilo

In /etc/lilo.conf, there should be a line: default=linux Just change this to: default=windows (or whatever the label for Windows is). If the line is not there, create it. Then run 'lilo'.
