OK, just dual booted win/mandrake 10.1
Windows on sda
Linux on sdb
(2 serial HDDs)

When i boot up, Lilo puts Linux, Linux-nonfb, Windows, and failsafe options in my boot screen. How do i change that to read only Linux and Widows. I opened the lilo.conf file in /etc, but there is a lot of stuff. What is safe to REM out and what isn't. How should i modify it?

Thanks

post that file here

----------------
this should do for
also do keep the origianl lilo file for backup
after making changes to the file do run
lilo

Thanks very much Masand.

BTW, what do those other 2 options do anyway? linux-nonfb and Failsafe. If i remove them, am i going to be in trouble later?

well u have multiple lables to boot different boot images for different linux versions and usage
so u have the option like failsafe etc
in ur case u can notice that in all lables it is booting with same parameters and same image files
so i don't thinkthat there will be any change for you if u boot from these different labels
you can try that for urself
