RE: Lilo or Loadlin...
Just my two cents on this subject:
Being as impressed by eye-candy and dancing-baloney as I am, I recommend the
CHOS package. It's fairly easy to install and configure (it has an
X-interface for configuration), and has a MUCH more intuitive interface
(curses-based? menu) and can even display an ASCII-rendering of Tux in the
background.
An example of the benefit:
Our finances are currently being tracked with Quicken on my Windows
partition, until I can get my version of GNUcash to work. My fiancee is a
Mac user. Which is easier, telling her to press tab, and then type in the
partition label, or telling her to press the number next to the partition
label on the menu?
But in the end I suppose it's a matter of taste. I mean, I'm sure LILO has
its advantages too. I just chose CHOS. :)

AFAIK, loadlin is used to boot to linux from Dos/Windows.
I use LILO myself. Kinda gives me flexibility of being exposed to windows
only whenever I have to be.
But to setup LILO:
chances are you already have it. If you don't , download it from debian
site and install it.
THe key to LILO is lilo.conf
I have a sample procedure on how to set up lilo.conf on my page at
