Re: LILO

["Zachary Florian" <zflorian@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

if you are going to delete the Linux Partition(s) to make way for another
DOS partition i'd recommend using cfdisk (i think that's it's name) in Linux
as it seems to be an excellent product and you can go ahead and erase all of
your Linux partitions that way and then use fdisk in DOS to get them back as
a DOS partition
