I have just got 8.1 installed , still learning as I go . Mine is tri-booting alongside 9x and XP. I finally got it working after a rough start ,.deleting my windows partition by mistake. Then lost the LILO when re installing XP. More later.

Cheers from Downunder.

Installed and running, now if i can figure out how to do other things with it, 8.1 configured itself completely right down to the router, was crusin the net with netscape first time it started, like i said now i just gotta figure it out, keep losin the stuff i download
oh well,

Spam if you downloaded it I don'y think the LILO is on the download cuz I had to rebuild my windows boot record to get windows to boot, so I think for me it is not in the download version

Lilo is there , just harder to find , After reinstalling XP if your linux bootloader is gone try this.

boot from Mandrake cd1
hit f1 for the options
type rescue , enter

mount your linux filesystem , mine was on hda5 but it depends here you installed linux to.

type mount -t ext2 /dev/hda5 /mnt , enter

type /mntsbin/lilo -r /mnt , enter

and walah after a reboot you should be able to choose whish os to boot again.

wel i run win xp and win 2000 and installed mandrake on my pc .

it delete my NTloader twice after reinstalling .

so i am booting now from floppy the safe way
