The only thing you have to be aware is were to install LILO, because if you install on the second master disk, and if youre computer " BIOS Setup " indicates that the boot must be done with the first master disk, then you will never see the LILO boot manager.. and you will be directed to youre Windows OS.
So if you plan to install it on the first or second master disk, you must tell youre computer from wich HHD it must load the boot.
