Installation of Lilo Install Lilo by running the following commands:
make && make install
It appears that compilation of this package fails on certain machines when the -g compiler flag is being used. If you can't compile Lilo at all, please try removing the -g value from the CFLAGS variable in the Makefile file. At the end of the installation the make install process will print a message stating that you have to execute /sbin/lilo to complete the update. Don't do this as it has no use. The /etc/lilo.conf isn't present yet. We will complete the installation of lilo in chapter 8.
