Yes.  It's a FAQ.  I'd go to www.linuxdocs.org and look up FAQs and
HOWTOs, and then the LILO-HOWTO specifically.  I can't remember offhand
what the answer is, but this question is asked about every month on
KULUA's list.  You might also look through KULUA's archives at
http://kulua.org/Archives.  Search isn't working right now (long story),
but it should be within the month.
