LILo problem
hey i am having a problem with the Lilo bootloader.
i had it all working fine with knoppix and win2k but then i tried to install windows XP and now it auto loads to windows. I had a friend install linux for me and i dont really have much idea on how to configure it. any help would be appreciated.

When you installed XP it overwrote the MBR on your HD, so now lilo is gone and you have to put it back:
- boot the Knoppix CD
- start konsole
- su
- mount /mnt/hdXY (XY=your linux / device and partition)
- chroot /mnt/hdXY
- lilo -v (or /sbin/lilo -v)
- Ctrl-d (three times to exit chroot, su and konsole)
- done

Try this, boot using knoppix cd, open kosole as SU:
mount /dev/hdxx /mnt **xx=your linux partition on hdd
ROOT=/mnt/mnt/sbin/lilo
or
moount /dev/hdxx /mnt/hdxx
chroot /mnt/hdxx
lilo

This could mean you chose the wrong XY. Where did you install Linux? If ie. hda5, you should type: chroot /mnt/hda5
plus i dont know what konsole is and su ???
Konsole is a terminal, as in console, it's probably where you typed the commands. Su makes you root (Admin)
If it doesn't work , try mount like Shah said: mount /dev/hdxy /mnt/hdxy

LIlo
Ok i have got that sorted but after i have edited the lilo.conf file and then i rerun lilo it says something like "hda1(mbr to my knowledge) is read only.
hda1 - Win 2000 and (mbr)
hda2
hda3 - Linux
hda4 - XP Home
hda5
the other two are for data storage.
