I used apt-get install lilo and the install was successful, but I received a message. I've read the HOWTO but I am still not quite sure what would be my next step
I can't find the liloconfig to run. Does run and execute mean the same thing?
run liloconfig(8) when you complete this process and execute /sbin/lilo
I would execute /sbin/ lilo by using the following command?
./lilo

LILO, the LInux LOader, sets up your system to boot Linux directly
from your hard disk, without the need for a boot floppy.
You already have a LILO configuration in the file /etc/lilo.conf
If you want to use the new LILO boot menu, please take a look to
/usr/share/doc/lilo/examples/conf.sample and choose one of the
bitmaps located on /boot
Checking your /etc/lilo.conf for incompatible options...
Install a boot block using your current LILO configuration? [Yes]
WARNING: Even if lilo runs successfully, see /usr/share/doc/lilo/INCOMPAT.gz
for changes in the usage of the /etc/lilo.conf file.
If needed: edit /etc/lilo.conf and rerun '/sbin/lilo -v'
