>The rest of the installation is straight forward and requires no
hand holding. Select the packages you want, make the boot disk when given
the oppurtunity to (absolutely essential especially for
<SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>Loadlin</SPAN
> users) and reboot the
system. <SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>Lilo</SPAN
> users should press
<TT
CLASS="USERINPUT"
><B
>dos</B
></TT
> at the <SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>Lilo</SPAN
> prompt
to boot into Windows. Like promised none of the Linux partitions will be
visible to Windows and we can all rest in peace for
that. <SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>Lilo</SPAN
> users should reboot the system and
boot into linux this time by typing <TT
CLASS="USERINPUT"
><B
>linux</B
></TT
> at the
<SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>Lilo</SPAN
> prompt and depending on the choices you
made you will either be at the console or the
<SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>gnome</SPAN
> or <SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>kde</SPAN
>
desktop. From one amateur to another it's always a good idea to log into
the console first and not graphically and then starting
<SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>X</SPAN
> because if <SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>X</SPAN
>
crashes on you still have access to the system to make amends.
<SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>Lilo</SPAN
> is set to boot into Linux by default after
a gap of <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>5</TT
> seconds, you can change the default to
Windows by editing the <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>lilo</TT
> file in
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>/etc</TT
>. Look for the line that says
<EM
>default=linux</EM
> and change it to
<SPAN
CLASS="TOKEN"
>dos</SPAN
>. Alternative launch <SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>lilo</SPAN
>
from an <SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>xterm</SPAN
> and change the asterisk from
<SPAN
CLASS="TOKEN"
>linux</SPAN
> to <SPAN
CLASS="TOKEN"
>dos</SPAN
> (use the arrow buttons,
dummy). That's set now for <SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>Lilo</SPAN

users.</P
