    You're not giving potential helpers much to go on! :-) What's in your
    /etc/lilo.conf? What commands did you run that produced an error? What
    was the error message you got?

    "vi /etc/lilo.conf" maybe?

    I don't think you can *erase* it, you can only overwrite it, by, for
    example, running "lilo".
