  13. Hi All,
  14.  
  15. I recently installed LILO on my 486 Linux box.  It works pretty well except
  16. that when I choose to boot LINUX, it throws me into on of the SVGA modes.
  17. This is as if I had pressed RETURN instead of space and selected one of these
  18. modes.  I have included the -d option for the lilo command with an argument
  19. of 7 i.e. according to the doc. 7/10 seconds to wait after keyboard
  20. initialisation.  Should I boost this number or is there something more
  21. sinister going on...
  22.  
  23. Thanks in advance,
  24.  
  25. Ender
