I would be interested too by disabling this feature (but just in some case, keep this feature by default). An ability to boot without a graphical display may be extremely useful in many situations. I am not sure if this belongs to lilo or not but I agree. Henri RHBT The new VGA selection screen disappears if you delete certain new boot message line from lilo.conf. What the last person was tryig to say.. I think I will try to make clearer. what you need to do is... - Become root (if not already) - type "vi /etc/lilo.conf" [ENTER] - arrow down to the line that looks like this message=/boot/message - hit 'd' twice. (this should DELETE that line entirely) - type ":wq!" [ENTER] - you should now be back at the prompt... type "lilo" - type "reboot" (and notice the TEXT version of lilo is back) (Sorry if this is too "remedial" for this buglist.. I work with people that need help spelling vi :) ) TJ McNeely KnopHead Ditto what TJ said. Delete the message= line out of the lilo.conf file then rerun lilo and you won't see the vga selection screen any more. |
