I don't know how recednt your computer is but I would strongly incourage you to create a boot floppy as well. I just dropped in a 20 gig hard drive in an old 486 box here and now I can't get lilo to boot from the hard drive. It used to with the previous 10 gigger but I started getting a bunch of I/O errors and dropped files so upgraded the hard drive. Thank God I built that floppy or I would be down one linux machine.
