[NTLUG:Discuss] Lilo on a cd ?

[Wayne Walker]

Tom,

I highly recommend using GRUB instead.  It is made for just that.

I made a CD iso for grub, or found one, don't remember which.  It's at

http://www.bybent.com/grub.iso

Or, build it yourself:

Other interesting solutions from my "readSoon" bookmark folder in
Firefox:
