bascule....the image of your /etc/lilo.conf is fine. Sure I can
tell you what the p command is, print the partition table, but
the m command (help) will tell you the same thing as well as all
the other available commands. Don't worry about executing fdisk
because it doesn't change anything till you do a w command
(write table to disk and exit). So if you want to run the
program to see something about the partition table then you
simply exit with a q command (quit without saving changes).
