Lilo?

I have Win98 and Linux 7.0 on my machine. However, I am not using lilo. I am using Master Booter 2.9. I know i still have to set lilo to the correct hda. But i still cant boot Linux from Master Booter. I did this once before but I dont remember how to do it. You have to run lilo for the changes to take effect, right? How would I do that?

I am trying to teach myself Linux, and I just started so, I'll probably have more questions for ya later.
Thanks
 
You'll need to setup so that lilo installs the boot record into the linux partion but not the mbr/master boot record. If you run "man lilo" you should see details on this but the HOWTO documents at linuxdoc.org might help. Then you setup Master Booter to boot from the linux partition.
 
I do type "lilo" in a terminal but it doesnt do anything. It says unknown file or directory. I did go back and look and there are 2 lilo files. One of them has a ~ after it.

I originally did use lilo before i got Master Booter. It was already installed.
 
I think you can use LILO with the -C switch to specify the file you
want to use.

e.g.

lilo -C /etc/lilo.conf
 
You need to be root to run lilo, and it's probably just not in your current PATH, run '/sbin/lilo -v' instead.
