Please read "man lilo". ;-) Yep, I have used that several times. However, I ran into a problem a couple times with Woody & Knoppix (whatever the latest Knoppix ver. was back then). For some reason the newer lilo in Knoppix was causing conflicts in Woody. It's been too long so I don't remember all the details... if I would have had to use the Knoppix lilo any time I wanted to update my boot sector (I don't think so) or if lilo didn't like my older boot sector or something weird. Whatever the case, I found a chroot to be a more surefire way of getting it to work. So that's why I recommended a chroot for Hugo. Both are pretty easy though.
