Yes.

If you install lilo on partition where linux is installed and set that partition
active from windows, you will boot into linux. The MBR is not touched this way.
You can boot into windows from lilo as well. If something goes wrong, boot into
windows using floppy and set windows partition as active(Well you can do that
with linux fdisk also if linux is working..). And everything will be restored.
As an advice, try Mandrake8.1 if you can get your hands to it. Better than
RedHat. Besides PCQ is a single CD distro. You will miss a lot of fun..
