Use a tool like linuxconf to modify lilo.conf. These tools provide a gui, which
makes such changes easy to make and activate.

You should have some configuration howto for the Mandrake distribution, or Linux in
general. Take a quick look through these HOWTOs. I think that the ones for
configuring linux aren't bad.
