Hey, On my laptop (generic model, not Dell), I couldn't get LILO to install in the MBR at all. Nothing I tried worked. Wouldn't work with RH 7.3 either. But then I tried installing RH with Grub instead, and Grub worked perfectly. Don't like or want RH anymore though, so I reinstalled SuSE, booted from a floppy, and installed Grub from the SuSE DVD. Works perfectly. :-) Really odd that Grub will install, but not LILO... It's an older model though, 300Mhz. Only use it when I do my occasional traveling for internet marketing conferences. Using SuSE 7.3 Pro, BTW.
