Grub error...

[Bob Shaffer]

The installer does not give you the option of using lilo.  In fact, I
don't believe that the "Everything" installation even includes lilo.  It
is, however included on the installation disks (#3 I believe) and you have
to install it and configure it manually if you want to use it.
