Most definitely....Kiss your LILO goodbye. Make a boot
floppy off your Linux system now, so that you can boot back
to Linux after reinstalling Windows. Also, as someone else
has said, MAKE SURE IT WORKS FIRST!!! :-) If you don't make
sure it works, you can be in for a REAL headache, 'cause
then you'll have to download and make an emergency rescue
disk and a Linux boot floppy from within Windows.... and
using those tools it's much more trouble to fix your LILO
afterwards! :-)
