HOWTO: Shorten My Boot Time With LILO?
Lilo is another popular boot loader in use on GNU/Linux systems to facilitate dual-booting more than one operating system on a single machine.
Lilo is controlled by the file:
/etc/lilo.conf
The value that determines how long the menu will be presented before the default OS is booted is controlled by the timeout value as shown here in this clip from my lilo.conf file:
# Specifies the number of deciseconds (0.1 seconds) LILO should
# wait before booting the first image.
#
timeout=100
Unlike GRUB, the timeout value for Lilo is in tenths of a second. Therefore, my Lilo is set to pause for 10 seconds before booting the default OS.
