For those in the US, willing to shell out the extra dough, I've found
that a boot manager such as System Commander can greatly simplify your
life. If you don't use anything but *NIX, then stick to pure LILO in
the MBR, but if you have a large number of partitions with such
'esoteric' selections as DOS, Winblows95/98, NT, and several *NIX
partitions, it can be handy.
I myself have DOS 6.22, Windoze95, Redhat 5.1, SuSE 5.2, and Slackware
3.5 all on one drive, with separate partitions for each. Booting to
whichever is a piece of cake, as System Commander (my choice) has a
graphical menu which lies resident in the MBR. SC in particular has
features which allow you to dynamically resize partitions (very handy).
Just a thought to keep in mind.
