1. LILO frezes after PartitionMagic moves LINUX partitions

This might be a FAQ.
I have installed RH5.2 (dual boot with Win95) and recently I moved all
my LINUX partition with PartitionMagic.  When I rebooted the PC

The first tragedy struck.
Lilo did not run and the screen stuck on 'LI' as if LILO cannot find
the rest of itself.  I have a boot disk
but, it seems that I needed an image from the CD to create a rescue
disk.

The second tragedy struck.
I had originally installed my RH5.2 with the help of my earstwhile
mentor.   He had the original installation images downloaded and burned
on to a CD.  He is nowhere to be found, having resigned a month ago....

On the other hand, I have Michael Kofler's book with 2 RH6.0 CD (?).
Well, I know the latest is 6.2 but am not willing to go out of my way to
purchase it.... :-)

Now any advice will be appreciated.

I am planing to boot the RH Installation CD. Question is that : Will it
go into rescue mode?  I am plaing to mount the LINUX partition with
something like...

mount -t ext2 /dev/hda/mnt/disk

and then attempt to run lilo (as root ?)

lilo -r /mnt/disk

and then attempt to reboot.

Please advise.  I am a novice on how to restore LILO, being new at this
kind of thing, anything is better than nothing.

Thanks in advance.
