currently I have windows installed and would like to install linux again. I have 12 gigs free but i'll allow linux to use about 6 of that.

I have set up my partitions but i need to know how to boot to either OS, does lilo do this??

Newer versions of LILO can boot from anywhere on your harddisk, ignoring the 1024 cylendar limit.

add lba32 to lilo.conf
