I don't know if I should post this question in the DSL or the DSL-N forum.

I have an old laptop with a 2GB Hd. I have partitioned it in half. 1gb ext2 hda1 and 1gb ext2 hda5. hda1 has DSL installed using Lilo. I installed DSL-N to hda5. I am still kinda new with linux... How should I modify the lilo.conf file to allow DSL-N to be my second option for boot. Here is what my lilo.cong file looks like right now....

vga=normal
lba32

boot=/dev/hda
root=/dev/hda1

install=/boot/boot-menu.b
map=/boot/map

delay=20
prompt
timeout=150

append="hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdf=scsi hdg=scsi hdh=scsi apm=power-off nomce noapic"

default=Linux

image=/boot/linux24
label=Linux

read-only

image=/boot/vmlinuz.old
label=LinuxOLD
read-only
optional

other=/dev/hda5
label="Win/DOS(hda5)"


I am assuming I can remove the section "image=/boot/vmlinuz.old" I am also guessing the "other" section can be removed and replaced with an "image" referencing DSL-N on hda5. Can anyone tell me how to do this properly? Thanks for the help.
