Use &linear mode

9.

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.

10.

Use &compact mode

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.

12.

&Record boot command lines for defaults

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.

14.

R&estrict parameters

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>.

16.

Require &password:

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>.
