incidentally, don't bother making a Lilo bootdisk for booting your pc in
emergencies, assuming your root filesystem is not corrupt you can use the
bootdisk that you used for first installing Linux (i'm on about Slackware
here, Redhat has a 'rescue' option). Pop that bootdisk in, and when it
has the screen about entering boot parameters (what he's on about up there
^^^^^) type
mount root=/dev/hdxx
replace hdxx with whereever your root partition lives. Some errors will
appear, but you'll get a login: prompt.
