Putting Windows Boot Loader instead of LILO




I just upgraded my system from RedHat 6.0 to RedHat 6.1. After the upgrade
was complete I realized that the upgrader replaced the Windows Boot loader
with LILO. Not only that, but it only displays the letters LI and gets
stuck.

I normally use loadlin to boot my Linux partition so I'm interested in
having LILO removed. Does anybody know how I can re-install Windows 98's  
Boot Loader?

The way I see it - I have another option and it is using a LILO disk. I
have a Windows partition on /dev/hda1 and a Linux partition on /dev/hdc1
and I want Windows to be the default. If anyone can prepare me a LILO disk
with those options and with kernel 2.2.12, I'll be grateful. You can send
the compressed image (for using with dd or rawrite) to
shlomif@t2.technion.ac.il or put it on an FTP site.


BTW, I think we should complain to RedHat that the installer does not ask
you whethere to install LILO or not.

TIA,

	Shlomi Fish
