make and test a boot floppy first ( just to be safe/paranoid )
	dd, syslinux, mkbootflop, etc..

than do the lilo ... and cross your fingers you dont get 
L, Li, lil-, 99 when you reboot
	- if you do .. just fix lilo.conf again

c ya
alvin

assuming you have lilo already installed, check the following

	# if your main MBR is /dev/hda
	boot = /dev/hda
	..
	# check if you need lba32 or linear
	lba32
	..
	# make sure you're pointing to / of your system
	image = /boot/vmlinuz-xxx
   	   root = /dev/hda1	( / of your linux )
