lilo question



hi
i have a redhat 5.2 linux on my pc, along with win95
when i installed my linux i didn't install lilo on the MBR but used to 
option to boot from disk.
now i want to put lilo on the MBR (with windows as default)
i thought about a few ways:
1. edit the lilo.conf file.
   this is the file now:
	boot =
	timeout = 500
	prompt
	  vga=normal
	  read-only
    however i'm not sure if this will do the trick, and do i need to execute 
the file somehow?
    i'm also not 100% sure about what lines to add to the file.
2. run linux lilo installation like the one when i install linux.
   its windows style, and simple to use,
   but how do i run it?
3. do upgrade to the linux (using the same cd i used to install the linux).
   the only catch here is that i don't want all my configuration (x-server, 
network setting...) to be deleted.
   does the upgrade over-right the current configuration?

i'd love to here any idea or help.
