In normal install mode, if I go back and install lilo, then when I try to "Finish the installation and reboot", it wants to install Grub again. The only way I can get past it is to "Continue without boot loader". When I actually reboot I get Grub Loading stage1.5 Grub Loading: please wait Error 17 In expert mode, a similar thing happens. "Finish the installation and reboot" insists on installing Grub. If I never select the Grub option and just reboot the system after installing Lilo (without "finishing"), then Lilo is not actually installed on the disk. Basically, it really wants to install Grub.
