[ale] Changing default boot OS in LILO

[Zhongbin Yu " <zyu at tc.net> (Zhongbin Yu " <zyu at tc.net>)]

default is whichever comes first in lilo.conf

in your cited lilo.conf, the first boot entry starts with image, so it
will default to boot linux. the second boot entry starts with 'other'

Those lines before these two entries are general/global section.

#Ona dual-boot Linux/Win95 machine, how do I change LILO's default boot OS (i.e.,

#Here is what my lilo.conf looks like:
#
#boot=/dev/hda
#map=/boot/map
#install=/boot/boot.b
#prompt
#timeout=50
#image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-15
# label=linux
# root=/dev/hda8
# read-only
#other=/dev/hda1
# label=win
# table=/dev/hda
