Starting Zeta from the LILO bootmanager

If you have a Linux installed on your computer, we recommend that you continue using your already installed bootmanager.

This is a short tutorial of one way to add Zeta to a LILO bootmanager. It is tested on Slackware 9.1.

Log in as root on your Linux system. From the Applications menu, go to System Tools and choose Boot. In the left bottom corner of the window that appears, click More Options. Press Add... to start adding the bootable Zeta partition.

A small installation program will now guide you through the process of adding a new partition to the bootmanager. Click Forward.

In the Name: field give the new boot image a describable name, in this case it should be Zeta. Don't change anything in the Operating system: field (let it be Unknown). Click Forward.

In this window you actually add the partition to the bootmanager. In the pop-down menu, choose the partition that you installed Zeta on. On the author's machine, it was /dev/hda7. Click Forward.

In the last window, click Apply to write your changes to disk.

The Boot Manager Settings should now look similar to this:

You might want to change the wait time before loading the default kernel or OS. By default it is set to 5 seconds.
