Redhat now offers both lilo and grub, although I think grub is default now. I finally gave up on lilo, and gave grub a shot - it's not too bad... I just have to figure out how to use it Smilie
rdhat 7.1came with LILO by def. and I don't think i saw grub. oh well, earlier version (7.1) and yeah, over fat32 isslow as heck- that's why i only use a 250MB partition for windows and the rest for Linux! (1GB drive1, 800MB drive0, 100MHz, 32MB ram)
