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. - -</para><para> - -After a fresh install of Debian, just the current system is configured -for booting with <command>LILO</command>.
