I figured it was something like that. That is weird that I'll have 
to immediately reboot into Mandrake to rerun LILOafter updating 
lunar, but if it works...

Thanks for the instructions and syntax. I'd likely have spent
quite a while figuring out the /mnt/lunar part...BTW you said
to "mount" it - you mean I need to have it mounted when I
run LILO, right?

I wondered if it might be a better solution, although I wasn't
sure why. ;) Thanks and I see your point. I used GRUB once
with a distro that required it for dual-booting w/Windoze - it
was a little cryptic but nothing too bad.

Thanks, Hendrik. Point well taken.
