Lilo.conf having no effect in 9.2
 
Is there any way to modify lilo's settings in mandrake 9.2. I try to modify /etc/lilo.conf (contents below) but nothing i do to it changes anything on the boot up screen. How do I make it work?

Run "lilo -v" as root in a console after you're done editing the file.

Thanks, I had modified lilo before so i should have known that.

after you are finished editing the lilo.conf file, you must run the lilo command (or /sbin/lilo if /sbin isn't in your path) to rewrite the changes, or they will have no effect.
