I decided to go ahead and reinstall everything and use potato this time. This was prompted since I was told potato was fairly stable, plus there was a disk manager (western digitals dynamic disk overlay) running that my original install did not remove and it was preventing lilo from booting.
Anyway before I did this, my hd was being reported as 777mb in the boot up and in fdisk/cfdisk etc. Now that I've apparently removed the disk manager, the hd is reported as 777mb in boot up but cfdisk and fdisk are only reporting 328mb. I looked up the drive at theref.aquascape.com, and they report that the drive should be 777mb. How do I fix this? I just love venturing into uncharted waters. Thanks for the help again, chris
