|  Lilo
anyone notice that in drake 9.1 if you rename whatever o/s you have listed in your lilo.conf, it still displays the default ones?
meaning instead of "windows" i changed it to windows XP and "linux" i changed to mandrake yet it still displays the original.
not such a big deal, i was curious if anyone noticed this.

You've probably already done this, but did you run lilo to re-write your boot sector with the new descriptions?

Anytime you edit the /etc/lilo.conf, or if you move or rename any of the files used by LILO, including the Linux kernel itself (the vmlinuz file), you must apply your changes before they will take effect. Failing to do so might cause LILO to be unable to boot Linux!
To apply changes, run the following command (you will need to be SuperUser):
/sbin/lilo
You should get a response that looks like this:
Added linux *
Added win
The asterisk (*) indicates the default boot image. If you see anything other than this, something went wrong. Go back through your lilo.conf and read the man page to see what it was.
