[NTLUG:Discuss] LILO help

[Clint Tredway]

My problem(and it is a small problem) is that I have to use a floppy to boot
into Linux. I installed Open Linux 2.3 on a machine with Win98. I thought
there might be a way to reconfigure LILO that will allow me to get the
prompt at boot time, whether I want to use Linux or Windows. I may be crazy,
but that is why I am asking this group.
