RE: LILO question
Duh; sorry I forgot about this... I don't know if you can get away with
doing this the easy way.
Ok first stage, Lilo is installed on /dev/hda so it's in the MBR. Second
you need to make /dev/hdb1 ACTIVE. If you do not know how to do this read
'man fdisk'. You only need to make it active, not otherwise change your
partition table...
It will either then boot, or you're going to have to fake windows out about
your partition table... That's hard and I've never done it before. It's in
the lilo documentation though. Which should be someplace like /usr/doc/lilo/
and you'll need to be root to run lilo anyway...

Yeah, I've tried that and other=/dev/hdb. Neither of them have
worked. One locks the computer up, and the other asks for a boot
disk.
