Hi folks --

I had an old 1.6GB drive that I was using for Windows 98, and it also
had LILO on it. That drive is dying, and I've replaced it with a new
40GB drive. But now I can't get back to the Linux side without swapping
that old drive back in, and I don't know how long it'll last.

So when I boot, I'll have all three drives like this:

hda: old 1.6GB drive
hdb: existing 60GB Linux drive, including /boot
hdc: new 40GB drive (should become hda soon)

How do I install LILO on hdc, preferably without damaging the Windows 98
data? Is there something else I need to install? I'm not too sharp
when it comes to MBRs and such, so pointers and/or instructions would be
most appreciated.

Thanks!
Ben
