If there is an MBR program installed that boots active partition, then lilo can be on hda1. I always did that back when I used lilo many many years ago. Also safer for dual boots since installing windows would overwrite the MBR, but if you just had to change the active partition back to the linux partition it was simple to require from microsoft dual boot hostility. With the boot loader in the MBR you needed to boot some entirely other way to recover and reinstall the boot loader. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
