You understood it correctly.  I had e-mail that having an HPFS boot
partition for OS/2 caused problems for LILO, so that you had to have
LILO as the primary boot manager which would boot up IBMs boot manager
which would boot up OS/2.  I did not want to trust the rest of the
system to LILO, it was my main concern.

However, meanwhile, I bought a lot of very usefull applications for
OS/2, I doubt that I would experiment with Linux until I get another
machine.  Thank you for the information, it has been usefull.
