[SLUG] Configuring LILO after installing Linux (Dual boot setup)

[Steve Drinkald]

Hi group, I'm a very green newbie, so I apologise in advance for asking a dumb question.  I have a Debian Linux "Morphix" install CD which I have used to install onto my new laptop.  I partitioned my hard drive and installed windows XP pro on one primary partition  (which includes the MBR) and Linux onto the other primary partition.  I installed LILO as part of the Debian install, and put it on the boot sector of the Linux drive.   When I start my PC, it goes straight into XP (as this is where the MBR is) and I don't get an option to select Linux.  I don't believe LILO has been configured yet on Linux, but I can't seem to get to Linux on the HDD.  If I boot off the Linux CD, then I am operating on the CD system, if I boot the PC, I load up XP.  What steps do I have to perform to be able to get to a dual boot situation.   Thanks in advance for the assistance.
