If you have OS/2 bootmanager there's no need to change. I have used it for
some time (about a year maybe) to boot into either OS/2, Win95, WinNT, or
linux. The trick is to install LILO in the linux root partition, not the
master boot record or anything like that. Of course you also need to add the 
linux root partition to the OS/2 boot manager menu.

Take it easy, one step at a time is enough... First install linux and make
sure you can boot it. Then, if you feel comfortable enough with the new 
setup, start looking into the more advanced things. Linux without X cannot
harm your monitor, so there's no need to worry about that right now.

Success, Campo
