Excuse the bad netiquette above. (I also suspect my spelling
is lacking in the prior sentence.)

I just got my computer to install Lilo in the MBR perfectly
from Slink. It turns out that my hard-drive was not setup
as LBR (or whatever it is) but as "NORMAL". It wasn't 
immediately obvious in the Bios, I had to do IDE Hard Drive
Autodetect for it to work.

Arrgh. This has cost me many many hours. I was even reduced
to the level of installing slink, the redhat 6 over slink
(which handled the hard drive ok for some reason) and then
going "apt-get dist-upgrade" from RedHat 6. (Which _almost_
worked :)
