That was incredibly basic! I have Mandrake v9 on 3 CDs
and it's also installed on my desk computer. I booted
the linux CD and pressed F1 for more options. Typed
"rescue" and entered. Came up to a menu with an option
to repair the boot (something). It then looked for my
linux installation, found the code and repaired the
boot file in the win98 partition. The next boot
brought up the LILO menu, exactly as I had it. It now
boots my choice of OS/2 (default and actually ECS),
win98, and Linux.

Now on to the other stuff like how to get mozilla 1.5
to run! Resolve my network issues, get the desktop 
more to my liking and install some applications from
the ecs cd2 and the appack. Oh and get my CDRW
recording with RSJ again.
