How do I get rid of a LILO menu item??

Hey, I just installed Slackware 9.0 (I love it)

But I have a small problem:

When it installed LILO, it installed a second boot item to boot into Windows XP, however, I have a 3rd party boot loader that runs before LILO.

How do I get rid of the one menu item and go straight to Llinux??

i can't remember exactly coz i've only ever used LILO a couple of times a few years ago, now i use grub.
But, anyway there should be a lilo.conf file somewhere in your /boot directory which you need to edit (as root), it should be pretty self-explanatory once you take a look at it, but as always - Backup First

edit /etc/lilo.conf as root, and comment out timeout=*some numbers*

remember to run /sbin/lilo after editing the /etc/lilo.conf if you don't do that lilo will still the same
