new install rh 7.1

[Janina Sajka]

Jim:

Here're two files from my computer for you to study. First, I give you my
/boot/message file:

  	 Welcome to TekRD ... 

Second, I give you my /etc/lilo.conf:

boot=/dev/sda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=500
message=/boot/message
lba32
default=current
append="speakup_synth=dtlk"
#serial=0,9600N8

image=/boot/vmlinuz-new
label = new
alias = n
vga=0X317
initrd=/boot/initrd.img-new
read-only
root=/dev/sda1
#append="speakup_synth=dtlk"

image=/boot/vmlinuz
label = current
alias = c
#vga=0X317
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
	read-only
root=/dev/sda1
#append="speakup_synth=dtlk"

image=/boot/vmlinuz-previous
label=previous
alias = p
initrd=/boot/initrd.img-previous
read-only
root=/dev/sda1
append="speakup_synth=dtlk"
