RE: booting from an ext2 HD when Linux is on a second HD

Hi,

Sorry to butt in here, but I'm a little unclear on this, and I'm having
similar problems myself.

Do I just change /etc/lilo.conf? Or, do I change it and then run lilo? Is
lilo automatically run because the /etc/lilo.conf file is modified?

Thanks,
