Good morning all,

I'm using Mandrake 9.0, and I like it very much. I'm learning
more about it every day, but I have a question about LILO.

I originally dual-booted my system, windows 98 (on C:) and
mandrake 9.0 (on D:). Over the last year, I've used windows less
and less, and now would like to reformat the drive it is on.

How do I restore the LILO stuff after I reformat the C: drive?
Would a linux boot disk make it possible? And, can I extend my
/usr or /home to take advantage of the new space on the C: drive?

Actually, what I am after is a link to the appropriate
documentation, or a recommended book on how to perform this
operation.

Thank, everyone...

Dave
