Actually, setting up LILO for dual boot is easy.  If you want, I'm sure many
of us can walk you through editing your lilo.conf file.  It's also nice to
add a mount point for your Windows partition.  Then, if you add an entry to
your /etc/fstab file, you have access to your Windows partition from Linux
at boot, which makes it very easy to share data back and forth.

Don't be afraid to try these things.  They are pretty darned easy to do, and
make living in a dual boot world a whole lot nicer.

Regards,
Caity
