Here is one way. Boot with the installation CD-Rom and select "upgrade".
A little later you will have the opportunity of editing its selections of ,
say yes
but don't change anything, just indicate your are done. You should then be
given the opportunity to make a boot disk and maybe even have lilo installed
on your boot mbr ( I forget exactly about that) either way you're all set
then.
If all you get is the boot disk you can go into linux and edit your
/ect/lilo.conf
file to show dos/linux and the priority of booting.If you do edit lilo.conf
(as
root) you will then need to run /sbin/lilo to have it go into effect.
