I installed Debian a few weeks ago, then installed SuSE on top of it (keeping the 
partition setup I had created during the Debian install).  SuSE installed a boot 
loader for me, so that whenever I start the computer I get to choose between Linux and 
Windows (and Linux "Safe Mode", though I'm not familiar with that).  Now I've 
reinstalled Debian (still keeping the original partition setup).

Two questions:

1) If I choose Linux from the current, SuSE-installed LILO, will that actually boot up 
my new Debian installation?  Or does LILO somehow "remember" that it's looking for 
SuSE?  (If it matters, the LILO screen shows the SuSE logo still, would be nice to 
replace that with the Debian whorl.)

2) If I use apt-get to install LILO, will that overwrite the old LILO or will 
something else happen...  I'm afraid to do too much writing on /dev/sda because I 
don't want to damage my fragile Win2k setup, but I'd like to use LILO to boot into 
Linux rather than my Debian Boot Disk.


Thanks!



Erik
