  10. I will be installing Linux on a 120MB hard disk with OS/2                       
  11. inhabiting a bootable 80MB partition. Linux will take up a                      
  12. 40MB partition. I do not have the OS/2 boot manager installed                   
  13. and therefore, have to install lilo.
  14.  
  15. I am new to OS/2, therefore, wish not to screw things up, like                  
  16. messing up boot records. So, if anyone has already done this,                   
  17. will you please let me know what not to do? By the way, I am
  18. using the HPFS.
