Re: Installing LILO onto a diskette. How?

pop a floppy in the drive edit /etc/lilo.conf and change the first line to point to /dev/fd0 instead of a partition. save and exit that file then run /sbin/lilo This will work out great..once you have lilo to the point that it will boot all your OS's you might just want to install it to your MBR.
