Other Help Topics :: How to...make a 'autoexec.bat'?

The boot command file is located on you boot floppy.

It is called SYSLINUX.CFG

You can edit it in Linux (as long as you are not already booting from floppy while you are making your changes) with Scite or nano.

You can edit it in MS Windows ™ by using Wordpad. Don't use Notepad or it will get confused with the linux text formatting.

Add your custom settings to the line that starts with "APPEND" that directly follows the "DEFAULT vmlinuz" line.

Hope this helps.

Yessssssssss! it works!
Thanks a lot!

Actually I prefer to edit in Notepad, BUT here is the key. DO NOT hit the ENTER key. THis will act as a carriage return and mess up the file. Wordpad can mess up the formatting even worse in my opinion and that's why I don't use it. Just make your changes in Notepad and then save.

I would also like to do something similar. I do not want any user interaction to be required for boot from power on to desktop.

I did a normal hd install.

Also where is the lilo config file so I can change which partition boots first and how long it takes?
