i am not doing any re-install nor any new install.
i have installed both windows and linux ............. with /boot partition
under 8GB
i installed windows first, and linux later................ but i chose the
option of booting into linux thru a floppy...........
i read somewhere that floppy is not a very reliable source, if u use linux
frequently................. because of wear and tear problems.
so, thats why i want to configure my sytem, so thats why i want to configure
lilo so that i have an option in the beginning ........... which way to go
........ windows or linux.
can running lilo at the prompt cause any problems ....... whatsoever ????
if i format my hard disk and reinstall windows later......... any problems
expected...???
