Make sure you are using a compressed kernel as if you are not then it will
be to large, according to lilo, and so it only installs the dos as specified.

This error appears to be masked if you use the colour lilo config.  I only
found the problem when I used the QuickInst in /usr/lib/lilo.  This may be
the problem but I don't know.

	Happy hunting Steve E.
