If you're networked, the easiest way is to boot with a networked grub. If not, you'll have to burn a CD with hd.img on it; but it will live only as long as the install kernel (kernel-BOOT-*) doesn't change (and it does change..). If you have currently a running linux system, you may of course put the "vmlinuz" and "hd.rdz" (out of the relevant "hd.img"), somewhere for your current lilo/grub, and install it as a target for lilo/grub, then boot from that target, it should work. Not ever tested, but it should work.. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
