[plug] Rescue my RH7.1 from Win2k

[Craig Foster]

You may also want to check whether lilo points to the /vmlinuz symlink to
the kernel (as it does with the default install) In that case, just edit
the newlycreated symlink /etc/lilo.conf to point to the right kernel in
/boot.

Sorry, should have double-checked,checked everything ^_^

Regards,

Craig Foster
