Downloaded and HD installed 3.8. Everything OK except I can't find where to config LILO. Not where it used to be! I just need to eliminate a couple of choices in the menu and give me more time for select. I'm old and it's too quick!

The lilo configuration file in knoppix is located at:
/etc/lilo.conf
edit the file to remove the boot options you don't want, then set the "timeout" variable to a higher number.
After you've done all this, get root and type:
lilo
that should do it. :D

Thanks foamrotreturns. I did find it today. It was way past my bedtime last night and I didn't realize I had a permissions problem. :oops:
