LURKER here, I have WindBlows, Linux/Mandrake v7.0 and Debian GNU/Linux v2.0 triple booting but using the PowerQuest BootMagic to handle the different OS's. It is setup within WindBlows and works GREAT!! Have NOT gone into the Debian very much, it is a little more complex than what I am able to work with at this time. LILO will do just fine for doing the same thingy, just go into the Config file and set it up and you are off and running, of course when you make any changes to that you need to run LILO to have the changes take effect. I am sure you knew that.
