	Well, yeah. You'll need to install grub.

	One of the cool things about grub is that only the very small 1st stage is 
loaded into the mbr. The second stage is loaded from /boot and the whole 
process is controlled by the menu.lst profile at bootup... its dynamic too... 
so that it can be changed on the fly (grub commands) at bootup and it can be 
changed with an editor while the machine is running.... no need to reload the 
mbr every time a change is made (as in lilo). 

	Well, we missunderstood your situation. I thought you were booting with grub 
and experiencing difficulty.... I did not realize that you were booting from 
lilo. <sorry>

	Good night... I've had enough for one day.
