A simple
	lilo
on mine, though I've not been successful in my "cobbling" so far, as I get
	[root at localhost chuck]# lilo
	Added windows
	Added mandriva *
	Fatal: open /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-9-386ubuntu: No such file or directory
	[root at localhost chuck]#
after my feeble attempts at adding the ubuntu section.  My lilo (with the 
errant section) is below; any pointer as to what stupid thing I'm doing?  
(ubuntu is on hda3, with swap on hda8)

     The grass is not, in fact, always greener on the other side of the fence. 
Fences have nothing to do with it. The grass is greenest where it is watered. 
When crossing over fences, carry water with you and tend the grass wherever 
you may be.
