You can use LiLo which by default will not list any options. You can name your secret OS as "W". When you reach the LiLo prompt you can type "W" and press enter. -- Holden Hao <[email protected]> _________________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Newbie Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
