[UCLA-LUG] RAM prob and security questions--new to list

[Denis]

I wonder if this would work:

-still set up the lilo.conf with the proper ram line.
-then, install lilo into beginning of your linux partitions ( make a small
 partition for it, or something like that)
-use one of those bootstrap things ( system-commanderish ) to start lilo or
 the bootloader for windows.
