Can't Set Up Grub


I can't get Lillo to install for some reason. If I could? I can make a "lilo.conf" from scratch. I have grub install through DamnSmall Linux. I can boot it & Win98SE. I can't seem to edit it right to put Xandros & Linspire on it. I'm going to paste the grub menu from 'dsl' & the lilo.conf from the other two. Anyone who knows how to play with grub? Please either post the menu with 98 first, dsl, xan & lin or email it to me. Thank you for your time & trouble.

DSL Menu:

# This sets the default entry to boot.
# Remember that GRUB counts from 0, so 1 is the second entry.

default 0

# This sets the length of time in seconds that grub will wait for the user to select an OS
# before it boots the default on. I reccommend at least 15 seconds.

timeout 25

# Enter the entry for 98 here. Something like this.

title 98
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

Thank you to anyone who can help. I just do not know grub & can't figure why lilo won't install propely. Thanks again.
