    Right now, my "c" disk is a Win98 disk and my "d" disk has linux and windows
    audio data partitions. I use bootmagic. If I choose linux, I get the LILO
    screen which can boot my linux or do the windows, etc.

    Can I use LILO directly, bypassing the bootmagic entirely--that is reference
    lilo.conf to the "c" disk "/dev/hdba" and when I boot, go directly to LILO
    and choose linux or windows?

Yes, one would think so but apparently Linux uses partitions a bit differently, or something, so that when Windows comes along afterwards, there's lost space since "headers" aren't detected the same by Windows. ...
