I installed Slackware 10.2 and then installed Windows. Windows completely overwrote the MBR, so I don't get a lilo menu anymore - it just goes straight to Windows. How do I install lilo into the MBR again? I still have my Slackware 10.2 CD.

You'll need to boot your installation from the CD, first of all. When you boot from CD 1, just before the "boot:" prompt, it tells you how (I can't remember off the top of my head). After that, edit your lilo.conf (found in /etc) to add an entry for Windows, similar to the following:

other = /dev/hda1 # Obviously replace with the partition Windows resides on
label = Windows

You'll finally need to run "/sbin/lilo" (as root) to restore LILO to the MBR.

Well. the convention is to install window$ and then linux. if you boot with installation cd you must know in which partition you installed slackware (like windows in /dev/hda1 and slackware in /dev/hda2). you first mount the slackware installtion partition (mkdir /mnt/hda2 && mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2) go into /etc/ and edit lilo.conf and run /sbin/lilo as per Nylex's instructions.

Correct me if I am wrong, but afaik you have to go to (with your example) to
/mnt/hda2/etc/lilo.conf & /mnt/hda2/sbin/lilo.

If not, I am a

Just insert your Slackware CD 1. Then at the "boot:" prompt type this "bare.i root=/dev/hda2 noinitrd ro" ( replace /dev/hda2 with the partition number slackware is installed to ) press enter, it will boot your local slackware system using the kernel from the install CD. Just login as root using the password specified when you installed slackware and type "liloconfig" and from there on I presume you know what to do to add both Linux and Windows ! Then reboot your computer, take out your CD and you should be prompted by the new lilo menu.

Orangutanklaus, yes you are right!!
