[ltp] reinstalling LILO (RHL+i1460)

[José Antonio Milke G.]

Thanks for your help Matthew, but it didn't work. I ran the text 
installation (because it doesn't recognize the video card) twice, and 
selected "update existing system" or something like that. After 
reinstalling some packages and finishing, it told me to reboot, but LILO 
didn't get installed (OS/2's Boot Manager still appears whenever I reboot 
the machine).
Any other suggestions?
Tony
