Hello all,

I have a copy of Official Redhat 4.0 C.D,I have installed it sucessfully
on my system which is a pentium 166, 32Mb ram and 2Gb hard disk.
my problem is that I have win 95 on one petition 600Mb, linux swap on 
another of 30Mb and linux /root on another of 600Mb.
When I finished installing Linux, it reboots my system and the LILO 
prompt appears.Then it automatically loads up win95 and I have no
choice as to which system I can boot ?
I have read the users guide on this many times and what this tells me
about installing LILO is not what is happening when I am setting it up.
What am I doing wrong ?
Maybe someone ouy there can help me with configuring my system to
dual boot and give me a choice when the LILO prompt appears.
P.S I am a newbee to linux/unix so please treat me as such.....

Regards, Richard Ashton.
