All you need to do is to boot with your first install CD, press F1 when it invites you to, then type: rescue You will get a nice little menu. The first item is "re-install lilo boot manager" or words to that effect. Just select this and it will install lilo for you. I presume that even though you originally had it on a floppy, this will result in it being on the hard drive. Hopefully this is not a problem for you. Don't see why it would be unless you need to conceal the fact that linux is there from windoze users. HTH Brian
