CAUTION on updating suse 8.0

Today I used apt-get to update my suse 8.0 instalation. All went well until I rebooted later. LILO didnt work. It stopped on L. Fortunately I remembered doing the update so I figured that was the culprit. It was. After booting an installed system with a floppy, I simply went to a term window as su and ran lilo. Moral, save yourself some heartache. After an update either run lilo or have a boot disk handy so you can recover without spending a day trying to make the disks through windows. ra
