Hi,
Since the SL installer only permits the installation of grub as boot 
loader, how to I replace it with lilo?  I tried the simple thing, taking 
a previous lilo.conf, modifying it slightly to match the sl /boot 
contents, and ran lilo.  Well the mbr was trashed.  I could not boot 
into linux at all.  Had to reinstall sl.  This was about 3-4 months ago.
I would like to use lilo.  How do I do this? A pointer to info would be 
fine.  But it has to treat this problem I mentioned.

Thanks,

Jim
