The one and only carnal sin of comp.os.linux! :)
Remember that many of us spend a lot of time writing the FAQ's and replying
to articles on c.o.l to deal with all of those "very particular cases".
Please do your part by reading the docs and the newsgroup before posting.
Even if you think that the FAQ won't help you, you might (God forbid) be
able to figure it out yourself. :)

Simple; with Linux (or OS/2) fdisk create the partition for Linux and
install onto it (depending on whether the drive's SCSI or IDE, use
"/dev/hdb2" or "/dev/sdb2"... assuming you're installing onto the second
partition of the second drive.
Then see the FAQ section III on how to install LILO on that partition's
boot sector, and then add it to Boot Manager.
Please do read the FAQ's. Your case is not *that* particular.
Thanks.
