I do have a question that I hope someone out there can help with. I am able to
boot my system with a floppy diskette, but not from the hard drive. I realize
that I have done something incorrectly in my installation (I am a definite
Newbie to Linux). Now I need to know how to install LILO to my MBR on my hard
drive. The boot disk I have is not able to be mounted. > > > >

First thing you need to do is turn off text/html in your mail Client as most
people in the linux world get upset with HTML on Mailing lists.
Second to your problem, boot with the floppy, login as root, startx,
run Kappfinder, then under non KDE apps/system use linuxconf there is a section
headed lilo, and you will be able to write the lilo boot to the required HD.
