Ok, here today's question.
I recently upgraded my winblows OS and it overrode my grub. I used the
rescue disk and I can get into Linux now. It is however, using LILO to boot.
How can I get it back to grub?
Thank you in advance.

I am presently running another distro than mdk, so I'm not
familiar with grub. Why would one want to use grub instead
of the usual LILO, especially now that LILO can load anywhere?

I prefer grub for a few small reasons - you can make changes on the fly and
try them out without having to remember to run lilo to effect your changes,
and to make the changes permanent you simply edit the menu file- again, as
soon as you save your changes, thats it - nothing else to execute.
According to something I saw on the l-m site, GRUB is now the default
bootloader for Linux-Mandrake 7.2, but LILO is optional in an Expert
install.

If you partition your linux installation to include 16MB or so /boot

The latest versions of LILO have a workaround for the 1024 cylinder problem.
Just put 'lba32' (without the quotes) in your /etc/lilo.conf in the main
