Thanks Thorsten,
I do use lilo. I have also been running a dual boot box with M$ and
lilo has been writing to the master boot record. But this time it's
all going to be Linux. I have a 30 gig harddrive so I would assume I
would be safe if I kept the /boot partition within the first 500
megabytes of the drive.
