I already have set up LILO on the laptop with Mandrake on it, so I know
how to mess with things like the default operating system.

How do I install LILO on a different disk?  How do I make sure it
doesn't trash the Ontrack program?

Most of the time I just boot into DOS.  Windows 95 is horribly slow, and
my programs are DOS based.

LBA?



I am dealing with a 1993 computer.
