Run "chroot /target". Now you can edit /etc/lilo.conf to fix whatever problems it has, then run "lilo". "exit", Alt-F1 back to the installer, choose "Reboot system" and remove the installer CD. Hopefully you're now fixed. If not, provide more info (error messages, etc) (and please, don't top post). -- Kent Thanks I got LILO running now and everything is working (except sound still).
