That file is called "LILO", not "LILO-HOWTO". Like I
said, I spent 2 hours trying to find a LILO-HOWTO. I couldn't find it in
the LS_LR file, so I assumed it was in some archive, and I needed to
extract the right one. That mini-howto is woefully inadequate. As I've
sighted the correct document before (albeit in printed form in the Quick
Installation guide), I was after something that would tell me about
>1024 cylinders, LBA, using fdisk and going into expert mode to
override the cylinder count, etc etc. I had already found that mini-howto
myself, I was looking for something that had MORE information than was on
page 15 of the Quick Installation guide, not LESS!!! Like I say, I spent 2
hours looking for it!
