   LILO is installed in a default Debian setup.  If for some reason you need
to reinstall it, just download the lilo*.deb file from ftp.debian.org.

   Once downloaded, just use dpkg -i lilo*.deb to install it.  The install
will ask you about whether you want to install LILO on your master boot record
or not.  To configure LILO, the main configuration file is /etc/lilo.conf.  To
reset lilo after compiling a kernel or for some other reason, just run the
command liloconfig.  Documentation is in /usr/doc/lilo.

   You can get information about any Debian package installed in the
/var/lib/dpkg/info subdirectory.  In that, just do a ls looking for <package
name>.list (e.g. lilo.list).  That <package name>.list file will list out
every file that a particular software package installed on yoru system --
quite helpful sometimes.
