Install lilo is a very simple process. First, install the last lilo RPM,
if you don't already have one. Next, edit the /etc/lilo.conf file (the
rpm file don't create it for you !!!, but the installation setup yes).

The content of the "/etc/lilo.conf" file must be like this, where the
example shows a system with kernel 2.4.21 and "/boot" partition is under
/dev/hda6 and "/" partition is under /dev/hda7, and the system boot from
the MBR:

prompt
timeout=20
default=2.4.21
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
lba32
                                                                   
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21
        label=2.4.21
        initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.21.img
        read-only
        append="root=/dev/hda7"

After do, run the "lilo -v" command. this may install lilo into the MBR
section on the first Hard-Disk.

If you want to go-back to GRUB, use "grub-install /dev/xxx", where
/dev/xxx is your Hard-Drive.
