Keith, I have had quite a bit of trouble with lilo, but I think by now I understand this program. 1. You can run the command liloconfig.tty and this will allow you to create the lilo.conf file. There are tricks, but you may know about them already. 2. You can, perhaps more safely, just create the /etc/lilo.conf file using an editor. I can send you a copy of my /etc/lilo.conf file if you like. Good luck! Larry
