I have seen BIOS anti-virus programs, at least one of which
could NOT be turned off (I had to modify the code and flash the
BIOS to get riid of it) that identified LILO as a virus. Use
linux, now that you have it, for your internet work, and just
save files to windows that you need to work with there. If you
use a good virus scanner for the stuff going in to windows, like
the Kaspersky AntiVirus (you didn't think it was for LINUX
viruses, did you?), then you don't need Norton and shouldn't use
it cause it is also seeing LILO as a virus.

Darn right. You can search google for explore2fs or
http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm
Windows is a jealous operating system that assumes no other OS
shares disk with it.

If you installed HIGH security, you CAN'T!!!
Otherwise, at kdm you type in the word "root" in the login and
then use the root password in the second line of the dialog.
But even then, you shouldn't. You can do everything root can
from your user desktop with the tools provided, except maybe
make a directory or write to a privileged file, or change
ownership of someone else's file not in your home directory.
For those things, a terminal and a su command or a
Menu->Applications->File Tools-> File Manager(Super User Mode)
are quite adequate. And you therefore don't have to worry about
logging in as root and then doing something silly like IRCing as
root.
