I want to get all my operating systems in same boot menu.
I have Win2k, Linux mandrake 8.1 and WinMe. Now when I turn on my computer, first come lilo and ask's windows or linux and If I then get windows, comes Win2 boot menu and ask win2k or winme.
How I can get this in same menu, with, ex. 15sec time, and then it get a Win2k if noting pressed.

What I did when I had win2k and linux, kept my lilo boot the same, and set my boot.ini on windows to zero delay. Therefore lilo appeared to be my only boot loader.
There may be a better way, but this worked quick and easy for myself.

Edit your lilo.conf and make it install on the boot record of the linux partition not your MBR. Then copy the boot record to a file using dd and add an entry to your boot.ini using the file you just created. Then set up the win2k bootloader for your 15 seconds delay and default choice.
Anyways find a tutorial for the step by step commands you have to run. Try searching for dual boot Linux and WinNT. Or documentation on lilo.
