    I have run into problems when trying to install RedHat 6.0 and Mandrake
5.3. First I tried to install RH 6 but couldn't get the system to work, the
installer crashing when trying to install LILO to the MBR. Eventually I gave
up and went for Mandrake but cannot install LILO to MBR. I tried first disk
sector (I think) but now whenever the system boots, it hangs with what
appears to be a partially destroyed version of the RH 6 LILO installation. I
have no way of preformatting the hard drive from BIOS. Does anyobne have any
suggestions?
 It's kind of important that I get it running so that I can show my school
how good linux actually is.
Thanks, Josh.
