- <title>Reactivating DOS and Windows</title>

-After installing the base system and writing to the <emphasis>Master Boot
-Record</emphasis>, you will be able to boot Linux, but probably nothing else.
-This depends what you have chosen during the installation. This chapter
-will describe how you can reactivate your old systems so that you can also
-boot your DOS or Windows again.
-

-
-<command>LILO</command> is a boot manager with which you can also boot
-other operating systems than Linux, which complies to PC
-conventions. The boot manager is configured via
-<filename>/etc/lilo.conf</filename> file. Whenever you edited this
-file you have to run <command>lilo</command> afterwards. The reason
-for this is that the changes will take place only when you call the
-program.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Important parts of the <filename>lilo.conf</filename> file are the
-lines containing the <userinput>image</userinput> and
-<userinput>other</userinput> keywords, as well as the lines following
-those. They can be used to describe a system which can be booted by
-<command>LILO</command>. Such a system can include a kernel
-(<userinput>image</userinput>), a root partition, additional kernel
-parameters, etc. as well as a configuration to boot another, non-Linux
-(<userinput>other</userinput>) operating system. These keywords can
-also be used more than once. The ordering of these systems within the
-configuration file is important because it determines which system
-will be booted automatically after, for instance, a timeout
-(<userinput>delay</userinput>) presuming <command>LILO</command>
-wasn't stopped by pressing the <keycap>shift</keycap> key.

-After a fresh install of Debian, just the current system is configured
-for booting with <command>LILO</command>. If you want to boot another
-Linux kernel, you have to edit the configuration file
-<filename>/etc/lilo.conf</filename> to add the following lines:
-
-<informalexample><screen>
-&additional-lilo-image;
-</screen></informalexample>
-
-For a basic setup just the first two lines are necessary. If you want
-to know more about the other two options please have a look at the
-<command>LILO</command> documentation. This can be found in
-<filename>/usr/share/doc/lilo/</filename>. The file which should be
-read is <filename>Manual.txt</filename>. To have a quicker start into
-the world of booting a system you can also look at the
-<command>LILO</command> man pages <filename>lilo.conf</filename> for
-an overview of configuration keywords and <filename>lilo</filename>
-for description of the installation of the new configuration into the
-boot sector.

-Notice that there are other boot loaders available in &debian;, such as
-GRUB (in <classname>grub</classname> package),
-CHOS (in <classname>chos</classname> package),
-Extended-IPL (in <classname>extipl</classname> package),
-loadlin (in <classname>loadlin</classname> package) etc.
