Dual Boot

[Janina Sajka]

Look at /etc/lilo.conf.

Actually, anytime you have a question like this, odds are the answers are 
in /etc because that's where most of the configuration files live. And, 
they're all text files, so you can tweak them in your favorite editor.

I've attached my lilo.conf to give you some ideas. Don't just copy mine, 
though. Be sure you keep that bootable floppy handy, too, just in case.

I guess I need to know where to make the change for lilo to do its thing. I have gone looking for lilo but haven't found it. Oh kay I admit it I haven't looked really hard. Is this where I would tell it to boot from the hard drive and if not where would I change that? Another thing is I would like to know where I might be able to get the Linux cookbook. Thank you fore the help.
