Yes, after installing in a 2 Gb HD (200 Mb swap, rest for linux) and after using mkliloboot, when restarting, it throws me something like...

L 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99_

Yep, Lilo sucks.

But I set ya up with Grub in the IRC.

OK, got rid of that. figured out how to fix the mbr on the Windows ME hard drive.
I'd done an install and tried LiLo, then tried a re-install but it would drop out after selecting the drive I wanted to install to. Once I figured out how to clean the MBR I booted the live cd of 2.0-RC1 and installed the loader in grub and cleaned everything that had to do with a Linux system off hda(I've also been trying Puppy on this old beast) and the install went fine. I was asked if I had Windows on hda and replied "y" and it looked like the grub install went fine. It goes directly to the windows boot-up though.
I'll try a re-install but in the meantime, any clues?
