I forgot about the swap partition. I always make one, but I just never
mentioned it. That'll be a total of five partitions on one hard disk.
I can't do that without extended partitions. Luckily only one has to be
bootable (the one with LILO).
Maybe the answer to this question has already been sent, but I have many
emails to read before I might find it.
Can I install LILO so that it always runs at boot time without putting
it in the MBR?
