How to get LILO back?


I dual boot to Win98 and Slackware 10.1. For some reason, the machine now only boots to Win98, and LILO does not appear. Is there an easy way to get LILO back so I have the option to boot to Linux or Slackware?

boot from the cd, there are instructions for booting an installation with a trashed loader on the first screen, do that and type lilo.

Yeah, I was afraid I'd have to do that. The box doesn't have a CD, so I have to steal one from another box...<sigh>...I was hoping for something easier...

/me steals cd from another box....

OK, life is good again
