You do not have to re-install RH 7.0 to get lilo working. Depending on
the error you are getting, it probably would not help. You are probably
going to have to post the error message, and posible your lilo.conf file
before we can help you.
do you get the error when you run lilo from the command prompt, or when
booting the system? You may also wat to run lilo -v to get more
information about what is going on.
