I am at the installation part where it's installing the bootloader. I tried GRUB, but I am too inexperienced to know how to work with the command prompt to setup. So, I'm trying to work with the other option... LILO with graphical menu. Here are the options I have to set: Boot Device Delay before booting default image (checkbox) Enable ACPI (checkbox) Force No APIC I have tried EVERYTHING. However, I keep getting the following error: An error occurred lilo failed: Syntax error. Can somebody please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.
