Check this box if you want to use the linear mode.<br>Linear mode tells the boot loader the location of kernels in linear addressing rather than sector/head/cylinder.<br>linear mode is required for some SCSI drives, and shouldn't hurt unless you're planning to create a boot disk to be used with a different computer.<br>See the lilo.conf man page for details.

11.

Check this box if you want to use the compact mode.<br>The compact mode tries to merge read requests for adjacent sectors into a single read request. This reduces load time and keeps the boot map smaller, but will not work on all systems.

13.

Checking this box enables automatic recording of boot command lines as the defaults for the following boots. This way, lilo "locks" on a choice until it is manually overridden.
This sets the <b>lock</b> option in lilo.conf.

15.

If this box is checked, a password (entered below) is required only if any parameters are changed (i.e. the user can boot <i>linux</i>, but not <i>linux single</i> or <i>linux init=/bin/sh</i>).
This sets the <b>restricted</b> option in lilo.conf.<br>This sets a default for all Linux kernels you want to boot. If you need a per-kernel setting, go to the <i>Operating systems</i> tab and select <i>Details</i>.

17.

Enter the password required for bootup (if any) here. If <i>restricted</i> above is checked, the password is required for additional parameters only.<br><b>WARNING:</b> The password is stored in clear text in /etc/lilo.conf. You'll want to make sure nobody untrusted can read this file. Also, you probably don't want to use your normal/root password here.<br>This sets a default for all Linux kernels you want to boot. If you need a per-kernel setting, go to the <i>Operating systems</i> tab and select <i>Details</i>.

19.

You can select the default graphics mode here.<br>If you intend to use a VGA graphics mode, you must compile the kernel with support for framebuffer devices. The <i>ask</i> setting brings up a prompt at boot time.<br>This sets a default for all Linux kernels you want to boot. If you need a per-kernel setting, go to the <i>Operating systems</i> tab and select <i>Details</i>.

21.

If this box is checked, LILO goes to the LILO prompt whether or not a key is pressed. If it is turned off, LILO boots the default operating system unless shift is pressed (in that case, it goes to the LILO prompt).<br>This sets the <i>prompt</i> option in lilo.conf.

32.

Enter any extra parameters you wish to pass to the kernel here. Usually, this can be left blank.<br>This sets the <i>append</i> option in lilo.conf.

62.

You can select the graphics mode for this kernel here.<br>If you intend to use a VGA graphics mode, you must compile the kernel with support for framebuffer devices. The <i>ask</i> setting brings up a prompt at boot time.

90.

Mount the root filesystem for this kernel read-only. Since the init scripts normally take care of remounting the root filesystem in read-write mode after running some checks, this should always be turned on.<br>Don't turn this off unless you know what you're doing.
