Red Hat 6.2 Installation

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

One solution is to retain the current partition you have and simply use the 
diskette to boot.. Then after you have installed, then download the latest 
LILO.
Also, the boot partition is only needed to contain the boot loader and a 
Linux kernel. I used to make it around 5MB until I obtained a LILO that 
worked well (SuSE 6.4 contains the upgraded LILO).
