 |With Mandrake 8.2 it is now a little easier to recover your boot config.
 |You no longer need a boot floppy. Just boot from CD1 and when you get the 
 |initial splash screen hit 'Esc' then at the prompt type 
 |rescue
 |You will be presented with a little menu, one item is to restore the Lilo 
 |boot config.
 |Thats it done...

Yes, this is an easier way.  But note, this will not append the windoze info.  That 
should be done manually (in lilo.conf) or via drakconf.
