With out X window started u cannot use gedit or any
other x win based editors.

if ur in command mode use:
vi /etc/lilo.conf
press esc and ':' and give wq for saving and quitting.
esc and ':' and q only for qutting. if u do not want
to save file give q!.

if u dont want vi u can use pico, or emacs.

to get help use "man command name" or "info command
name"
