- Absolutely. At least, it worked for me, in about 10 minutes, counting the
- compile time. Piece of cake, no sweat, wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am. Just follow
- the directions in the README up to step 5, substituting your Linux partition
- and kernel Image file at the appropriate places in step 4, and you'll have
- lilo up and running. I wish I'd known it was this easy before--I'd've ditched
- shoelace a _long_ time ago!

- Thanks, Werner! Lilo's the greatest thing since...since...since the transistor!
- (I was going to say "vacuum tube", but Linux is the greatest thing since the
- vacuum tube :-)
