lilo configuration

[Dave Hunt <]

Hello,

In general, you need some defaults, and an entry for each operating
system you wish to boot.  Perhaps an example is best.  Below, you will
find my entire "/etc/lilo.conf".  You'll have to customize as
appropriate.  What all this means can be found in the lilo man page.
You have a question about a particular entry?  Just ask.  I had
trouble with this at first, and got help on this list.
