[techtalk] LI error and getting back into Linux....

Well, if you made a linux boot diskette at startup (mandrake asks if you
want to during the installation time, iirc), you can just boot into that,
and then you can run the lilo installer and make a fresh lilo MBR (so to
speak) with the command 'lilo' after you log in. 

If you did not make a boot diskette, I'm at a loss as to how you can fix
your situation. If this is the case, I'm sorry...
