How to Uninstall LILO
LILO can be uninstalled using the lilo -u command, or it can be disabled by making another partition active using fdisk under either Linux or MS-DOS.
If LILO has been installed as the MBR, you
can restore the original MBR by booting under MS-DOS and using the
commands SYS c: or FDISK /MBR.
Summary
This chapter covers the basics of configuring, installing, and using LILO, and introduces you to the LOADLIN.EXE boot utility. Hopefully, you’ve seen that using LILO can give you additional flexibility in the number of operating systems installed on your PC and that Linux can be used along with these other systems. Don’t forget to read LILO’s documentation, as you’ll not only learn about how operating systems boot from your hard drive, but also how you can customize the Linux boot prompt.
