Yes, this is exactly what will be needed. You can do it during
installation or boot via the installation CD again and then do it in
running system (which may be more comfortable, since you can use GRUB for
the initial boot and switch to LILO afterwards.

How would that be possible? Remember that the installation CD can no longer
boot the installed system, so the problem complexity is doubled.

As I wrote, you can install with GRUB and switch to LILO later.

Even if grub does not boot, and boot installed system from install dvd does not exist? How?


And, I think that booting a system from hard disk it still works via Linuxrc
(but I have not checked this in 11.1 Alpha).

Dunno. AFAIK, the entry to boot installed system was removed from dvd for 11.0.
