fiddling with lilo.conf
 

I was fiddling with lilo.conf and by mistake, I think, changed the 'timeout' parameter to ZERO. So the boot menu shows up and quickly loads Windows which is the default one. I tried to use Explore2fs that reads the Linux fs but I am not able to change the lilo.conf file.
I also do not have the boot floppy.

What could be done the change the lilo.conf setting.

Well depending on what distro your using, most you can boot with the cd you installed with, going into a rescue mode to get into the system to edit or fix whatever.

Thats why you never fiddle with Linux. :cry: "Do or do not, there is no try." I would boot from an installation cd and go into rescue mode.

If you have a distro on CD it probably has a rescue mode. If not you can down load a boot floppy disk from

Once booted to linux mount your root filesystem and then fix lilo.conf then

chroot /mnt/<root_mount_point> (change to actual mount point)

rerun lilo
lilo

reboot PC
