[olug] USB Keyboard and Grub

[Jonathan Warren]

I can send my lilo.conf if you want to see it.  This installs lilo.to the mbr.  You probably don't want the vga=773 unless you have a geforce2 mx and you don't need the appends unless your cd recorder is onl that device.  Also make sure you kernel is in the correct location on your filesystem.
