IIRC, it is possible to use it as a chain loader. That is, use it to load *another* loader. This is how it loads NT, if I'm not wrong. It might be possible to use dd to write your OnTrack loader to a file and then have lilo load it and *it* will load '95. These kinds of special loaders are not new and I'm sure lilo will have a way to handle them. > I think I will not be able to boot using lilo on my system. There is always Loadlin, or Grub (which I know nothing about). Hmmm... Query for the Gurus: since I use only one Linux (with only a single kernel) on my machinecan I live without a loader -- a la M$ Duh?
