- If you are using lilo, you don't need a boot manager. Lilo takes care of that.
- You install Lilo, then use fdisk to make your linux partition your bootable
- partition. If you hold down the shift, control or alt key while the computer
- is booting up, you get a prompt asking which partition you want to boot off of.
