I don't like the LILO label - How to change it?
Hi,
I don't like the label that is appearing in LILO when I start the system. It is crude as "linux", "linux-fb", "windows", "floppy" etc. I want to change this to something like: Mandrake Linux 9.2 RC2 Windows XP Home Floppy Linux boot etc. How can I do this? When I enter like this lilo.conf the system complains I cannot have a space, which means I can enter MandrakeLinux92RC - I don't like this either. Any ideas? Secondly, what is linux-fb boot? Thanks for your time. |
Open the file /etc/lilo.conf in a text editor and find the lines that say "Label = " and change the label to your likings. After that run /sbin/lilo. Now when you reboot you'll have your shiny new labels. Editing and command execution as root, of course.

Try using underscores instead of spaces. I did this once with RH and they appeared as spaces at login.
Don't know what fb is. Maybe fall-back? |
Damn, didn't read all the way through, sorry bout that.

Hi djbanaan
No problem :) . It happens to me all the time. jkobrien - I will try your suggestion. So, that means all LILO people are satisfied with the crude labels. Hmmm, why I am not??? |
You could alway use Grub as your bootloader; it's more powerful than lilo, and it does allow spaces in the labels.
