Well, I tried making mine like yours. Here is my lilo.conf file. Now that=
 I=20
think of it I had to change the vmlinuz link file (it was a link to the o=
lder =20
kernel). Someone said that this would give me a choice of which version I=
=20
wish to run. It does not though. I notice that next to 'label' is the tex=
t=20
that is on the boot choice menu but next to each 'image' is /boot/vmlinuz=
=2E=20
I'lll try making it like that but that would mean that every boot choice=20
leads to the same area?

How could I check and see what version I am running?
