[ale] Unable to boot up in run level 5

[John J. Cruz]

Jim,

I want to tried your suggestion but I don't understand the append
statement.  The append statement is not part of my lilo.conf file.  As a
matter of fact the append statement is blank.  Could I add something
like /etc/telinit 5 to the lilo.conf file?

Is it possible to have two install linuxconf files?
