If your'e using Gnome go to the System or settings sub menu and there you'll
find Linuxconf and you get a window which has an option Lilo use that to
configure your lilo.

I think what may be the problem is that you haven't entered the DNS IP
addresses of your ISP's in the /etc/hosts file. Check out PCQuests March 99
issue or their website for connecting to the net.

Its pretty obvious because you haven't specified a mount point. So what your
line should look like is
/c /dev/hda1 vfat default 1 1
Of course you can specify another name.

Check www.linux-india.org The website has a mail archive which has a
comprehensive search engine where you can get the solution to this problem.
