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.
