Ok, after much effort and moving around I finally installed the distribution on my system. However I made 2 mistakes. Can you help me to correct them? 1. At the very last screen I accidentaly selected the graphical interface as the default. So the system starts with x and much is loaded without actually needing it. Can I go back to a text login prompt and not having to go to a console with ctrl+alt+f1 to do it? 2. Lilo is booting to linux as the first choice. I still depend on windows for some tasks and I want windows as the first choice. Can I do that? Thanks again. Ps. I know I have alot of reading to do but I am greatful that there are many helpful people on the list. I hope I will be able to help myself at some point. Regards.

I think the best way to know for sure is to check the char attributes with Insert+dot. The highlighted item will be different from the rest and should be directly above.
