Hi there!

I have a little problem. LILO is configured so that by default Windows boots in 10 secs. I want Linux to boot by default.
Any suggestions?

Here is my lilo.conf:

# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
boot = /dev/hda
message = /boot/boot_message.txt
prompt
timeout = 100
# Override dangerous defaults that rewrite the partition table:
change-rules
reset
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x32k
vga = normal
# Normal VGA console
# vga = normal
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k
# vga=791
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x32k
# vga=790
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256
# vga=773
# VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x64k
# vga=788
# VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x32k
# vga=787
# VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x256
# vga=771
# VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x64k
# vga=785
# VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x32k
# vga=784
# VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x256
# vga=769
# End LILO global section
# DOS bootable partition config begins
other = /dev/hda1
label = "Windows XP"
table = /dev/hda
# DOS bootable partition config ends
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda2
label = "Slackware Linux"
read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends

thnx in advance!

Either

1. make a line:
default = Winbloze (which refers to the "label =" portion of each entry) OR

2. Place the Slackware entry above the winbloze entry.

Don't forget to run /sbin/lilo -v afterwards.

Cool

That was fast, thanks

he he he, I've been there, young Jedi

Glad I good help, and You're Welcome

Hei, one more question. OK?
So how can I configure kmix so that every time I start X ,volume = 100%, not 50%. You see I have removed the panel so I can not save the settings I made. Maybe there is some kmix config file?

thnx in advance!

I have just rebooted MasterC, and this thing works, I have just putted the Linux section above winbloze
Yeah, cool

I am not sure on the volume bit, but I would give "aumix" a try. If you don't have it installed, you may be able to find it on your disc somewhere, or else try www.freshmeat.net

man aumix will give you instructions on what to use to save volumes probably.

Cool

Hei Master, is there a mplayer version under console, not X?

mplayer

Yes, you can use mplayer under console, but you have to read up on it in the DOCS on mplayer's website. I can do it with my video card using the -vo vesa option, but I don't know if it's a "per card" option, or if that's for everyone. I do have to have the VESA initialize at boot time, to do that I need to have my card plugged into my TV. It's confusing to me still, but it works. I am trying to learn about that actually. I spend alot of my nights at work trying to read about it so I know what's actually going on so I can understand it better.

Cool

So if my card will ever support VESA, I will be able to watch DivX films under normal console? Wow, that would be cool And one more question: how to start 'aumix' ?

aumix

If it returns with "no file or directory" then you don't have it installed. Go get the source and install it, it's a piece O cake.

./configure &&
make &&
make install &&
aumix

Cool

I have made like this: ./configure; make; make install
But some error apperared, I will try again thnx

P.S. ' Where'd it all start? A *nix timeline' - cool hehehe

Damn, I have reinstalled aumix but it says: make: *** [config.status] Error 2
Can't understand what is wrong?

That would be after you untar the file. I got the CVS version just to be on the bleeding edge of volume control

So I guess complete instructions would be:
download the file, this example will say you downloaded to /home:
cd /home
tar xvzf aumix(THEN TAB KEY)
cd aumix(TAB)
./configure &&
make &&
make install &&
aumix

Ok, that should be pretty straight forward. The ( ) comments aren't to be typed out, but rather press the tab key at that point.

Cool

Do I have to put '&&' ?
