[Matt subscribed to the list but failed to wait more than about 10
minutes before sending his message.  Unfortunately this opens one up
to an unfortunate quirk of the way our mailing lists work---new
subscribers have a 50-50 chance of having the mailing list software
think they're not really a subscriber if they send too soon.

I'll put a suitably worded note about this into the .info files for
chat and general later.]

Hi.. I'm a Linux (redhat) newbie and I'm looking for a good place to ask
lots of really dumb questions.. If this isn't the place, please let me
know and I'll get off the list (perhaps you could suggest something else).
Otherwise, thanks in advance.

Here's my first question - As I have installed Lilo on the boot partition
of my wife's window's machine and it has landed after the 1024cyl limit,
Lilo is prompting me to enable lba32. How do I do that?
