Default Newbie needs help installing Linux

Hi all,

I recently tried (re)installing Linux on my laptop. I had succesfully
done it before. Now I'm trying a dual boot with Win 2000. The hard
drive is ~5GB, with the first partition (~2.5GB) gone to Windows.

There was a little trouble installing Linux the first time round (see
http://www.dclug.org.uk/linux_news/d...ilwilliams.php
for details on the problem and how I overcame it - you won't need to).
Anyway, updated /etc/lilo.conf then typed lilo at the prompt. Got some
text saying it couldn't update the boot partition (can't remember
exactly).

Anybody have any idea how I can get around this?

Thanks
- Liam
