Hi,<br />
<br />
Can you show me your /etc/lilo.conf file also if your lilo has been password protected <br />
** please make sure you don't paste the password **

You put me on the right track. &nbsp;Plus, I added vga=791.<br />
<br />
That took care of Xandros and Suse both showing their GUI's. &nbsp;However, Fedora ignored all darts thrown at it: vga, splash=silent, quiet.<br />
<br />
The fix to get Fedora to boot up with its GUI in Lilo is to add 'rhgb' to the append and is an acronym for Red Hat Graphical Boot. &nbsp;This is courtesy of the grub file that Fedora produced.<br />
<br />
Now all systems are booting up with their respective GUI's.

pjedmond,

You put me on the right track.  Plus, I added vga=791.

That took care of Xandros and Suse both showing their GUI's.  However, Fedora ignored all darts thrown at it: vga, splash=silent, quiet.

The fix to get Fedora to boot up with its GUI in Lilo is to add 'rhgb' to the append and is an acronym for Red Hat Graphical Boot.  This is courtesy of the grub file that Fedora produced.

Now all systems are booting up with their respective GUI's.

Linux newbie somehow turned on the verbose bootup text. &nbsp;How do I stop the verbose from appearing; thus, returning the vendor's GUI to appear? &nbsp;I am using LILO to bootup several distros (Xandros, Suse and Fedora).<br />
<br />
I'm sure it has something to do with an append but I'm not sure.

Stop bootup verbose

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
