So I was messing around with Gnome...

I dual boot XP and Slack, there is a tool I found that edits your lilo configuration. I noticed I misspelled my Windows boot name during the slack install, so I fixed it. Now when I boot, I boot straight into Windows. It has the "Booting whatever" screen from Lilo, as if the delay is set to 0. I think the lilo tool in gnome has the delay set to 0 by default and wrote it wherever.

Googles tell me that etc/lilo.conf is responsible, but I was not able to edit it from windows. So I fired up my local area security knoppix live disc, mounted the linux partition and edited first the timeout= field from 0 to 30, then the delay= field from 0 to 30, and then both from 0 to 30 and nothing worked. (the drive was writable btw)

I still can't boot into Slack. Everything is telling me that lilo.conf needs to be edited, but I don't think thats the case.

Any ideas?

Thanks
