Nope, that would not work. If the size of the bzImage of your kernel is less than 1.35 mb, it would be possible to make a boot floppy with LILO out of this. Space is needed for LILO files as well. If you make a syslinux disk, probably about 1.4 mb kernel would also fit. If it is larger than that you need to resort to a bootable CD. > > By the way, I have a different but related to LiLO question. > When I turn on my machine, I get a graphical menu showing Linux > and Dos.
