You can add as much time as you need by changing one line in /etc/lilo.conf

timeout = 50
to
timeout = 200

The number is in tenths of a second.

Glad that you got the MS-windows back. Now for the x-windows.

Dos had it's path command which would allow you to enter commands from most
any directory and they would run. Linux also has commands that you can
enter from most any place. Xconfigurator is one of those. If you see
something like

[ray@localhost ray]$

then linux is waiting for a command. You can type it in right there and
press enter.

If you don't see something like the above prompt, try <control><alt><F2>
and linux should switch you to a new terminal. Log in as root and enter
the Xconfigurator command and you should be good to go.
