Re: New install of rh 7.3

Blanco, Reposada, or Anejo? And where did you find it, I haven't been
able to find that brand since I was in Chicago?  Now I want to go home
and hit my gallon of jose (even though it's not the same)

A real dumb question and maybe I'm not seeing the bigger picture but...
If you didn't install LILO why do you need to edit lilo.conf? Use the
Win2K 
boot manager. Isn't that what RedHat recommends for dual booting with
WinNT? 
And yes I think that running /sbin/lilo will create lilo.conf in /etc
but if 
there is no lilo in the MBR it won't work. If you use the Win2K boot
manager 
you don't need  or want LILO. I'm confused, yes?

I think mkbootdisk <kernel name> may be what you want if you're talking
about 
the bootdisk.

As a side, trash the W2K partiton and install GRUB
