Re: [Sheflug] Re: dual boot

Following Andrew and Fred's comments I set about changing lilo.conf, this was the first time I have
poked around Linux with a goal, rather than just poking around. Anway I tried Edit lilo.conf so far
so good made the change I wanted but then could'nt save the change, I suspect thay vi has a purpose
here but I am lost. Suggests on a postcard to the usual address.

Further poking around in YaST solved my problem but It would have been nice to do it from the
source.
