There are two options: LILO and bootlin. I suggest bootlin, because
it does not mess w/ the boot sector on your dos drive. I can
give you more info later, but its pretty easy to use.
BTW, there are going to be several new distributions relatively
soon (a few weeks from the posts I've seen). I would either
wait for them or use Slackware 1.01 (ftp.cdrom.com /pub/linux/slackware)
instead of using SLS 1.3.
