Question

I have my PC setup to dual boot Win98 and Caldera OpenLinux 1.3. My boot loader automatically loads Linux if I do not intervene and select Win98. How do modify my lilo.conf file to make Win98 the default OS? Here is a copy of my /etc/lilo.conf file.

#
#general section
#
boot = /dev/hda
map = /boot/map
install = /boot/boot.b
prompt
# wait 20 seconds (200 10ths) for user to select the entry to load
timeout = 500
#
# default entry
#
image = /vmlinuz
label = linux
root = /dev/hda2
read-only
append = " "
#
#additional entries
#
other = /dev/hda1
label = win98
table = /dev/hda
loader = /boot/chain.b

3 ways:

(a) Your default OS is the first OS listed, in this case Linux, u can change it by moving it down
(b)uncomment the default line .. and address the specific label for your default OS.
eg: default=win98
(c) use linuxconf and change Lilo settings.
