I'd recommend using an alternate boot loader called GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader, IIRC). It's not noticably more difficult to properly configure than LILO, and has some nice features (filesystem support in the loader, a boot menu, and you don't need to re-install it just because you upgraded your kernel). I'm pretty sure it supports Linux and all of the *BSDs. It has useful documentation, but in Info format; I found it convenient when I first installed it to make a GRUB floppy and read the documentation online. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
