One more thing ... In checking your file one more time I notice the "prompt" directive is missing. This goes in the header portion. I'd put it above the timeout parameter. Also, I hadn't noticed that I still have a "table" directive in my lilo.conf. Shame on me for passing this on. I note from man lilo.conf that this is now deprecated, so it should come out. -- Janina Sajka, Director Technology Research and Development Governmental Relations Group American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) Email: janina at afb.net Phone: (202) 408-8175 Chair, Accessibility SIG Open Electronic Book Forum (OEBF) http://www.openebook.org
