Assuming you've set up your partitions correctly (someone already mailed
you about using fips,  I think),  you want to install LILO,  the LInux
LOader.  The install scripts should ask you if you want to do this -- it's
very simple,  and the configuration is quite easy.  Let me know if you
have configuration problems with lilo and I'll try to help.
