    Ok, I intend to use Knoppix as a recovery disk. I know it has tools
    like fsck and such, but I have a procedural question:

    How do I run "lilo" (if I need to, Cromm forbid) so that the MBR and
    boot files on the hard drive are effected, not the CD?

    I've never tried to boot from one disk and run "lilo" on the other, I
    don't know how to change the perspective of "lilo" to know to look
    at /dev/hda1 instead of whatever disk it booted from.

    Thanks,

    Curt-
