by I downloaded the new version of LILO (21.5) that overcomes the 1024
cylinder limit for IDE. When running QuickInst as root, it says:
Making LILO ...
cc -E check-config.cpp `( if [ -r $ROOT/etc/lilo.defines ]; then cat
$ROOT/etc/lilo.defines; else echo -DM386 -DIGNORECASE -DVARSETUP
-DREWRITE_TABLE -DONE_SHOT -DVERSION; fi ) | sed 's/-D/-DLCF_/g'` `[ -r
/usr/include/asm/boot.h ] && echo -DHAS_BOOT_H` >/dev/null

Also, why does the README says that the 1024 cylinder limit is a
problem, just like the README in older versions of LILO? ... or is it
simply that the READ has not changed?
Also, running QuickInst warned that it should not be used to overwrite
an existing lilo installation.
The term 'installing LILO' is sometimes vague, as it is used in some
docs to mean 'installing the bootloader onto the boot sector or
something similar' .. and in this case it means 'building and installing
lilo into /usr/sbin/lilo ... without affecting the bootloader in the
boot sector'.
