3. Introduction

Although the documentation found in Lilo's sources (the one installed in /usr/doc/lilo -version) is very comprehensive, most Linux users experience some trouble in building their own /etc/lilo.conf file. This document is meant to support them by giving the minimal information and by showing five sample installations:

The last three examples are by Cameron, who wrote the original document. Alessandro, who took over maintainance for a while, doesn't run anything but Linux, so he can't check nor update them by himself. Feel free to send feedback through Cameron's web site (http://judi.greens.org/lilo/) or to send email to either of us.
