i have Lilo 22.5.9 (Slackware 10.0) and attempted modifying the rather boring looking screen with EnterTheLinux. After editing the etc/lilo.conf file and rebooting several times, i have failed so far- all i get is the same ol red lilo default screen.Here's my lilo.conf-
# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
boot = /dev/hda
#message = boot_message.txt
prompt
timeout = 1200
You may want to give this a shot. I always had to mkinitrd to add a pic to it, but perhaps slackware just needs a certain sized image file. In any case, this will put some pretty kickin themes on LILO if you so wished.
