Operating Systems
Some of the things that can be done here are: settings like General Options for specific kernels/OSes, set default OS to boot, probe for available kernels, you can also edit root file system, ramdisk settings, extra parameters, etc...
To the far left is a list of the kernels and operating systems you can currently boot. Choose the one you would like to edit.
Enter the filename of the kernel you would like to boot. Pushing the will bring up KDE standard fileselector to help you find the kernel.
Enter the label (name) of the kernel you want to boot here.
Enter the root filesystem for the kernel you would like to boot. Pushing the will bring up KDE standard fileselector to help you find the root filesystem.
In this case, the root filesystem means the partition that will be mounted as / at boot time.
If you want to use an initial ramdisk (initrd) for this kernel, enter its filename here. Leave this field blank if you do not intend to use an initial ramdisk for this kernel.
Enter an extra parameters you wish to pass kernel. Usually this can be left blank. This can the append option in lilo.conf.
Boot this kernel if the user doesn't make a different choice.
This brings up a dialog box with further, less commonly used, options.
Automaticly generate a (hopefully) reasonable lilo.conf for your system.
Run LILO in test mode to see if the configuration is ok.
Add a new Linux kernel to the boot menu.
Add non-Linux OS to boot menu.
Remove entry from boot menu.
