><P
>If everything went as planned, you should now be able to boot Linux
from the hard drive using LILO. Alternatively, you should be able to boot
your Linux boot floppy (not the original bootdisk floppy, but the floppy
created after installing the software). After booting, login as
<EM
>root</EM
>. Congratulations! You have your very own Linux
system.</P
><P
>If you are booting using LILO, try holding down
<EM
>shift</EM
> or <EM
>control</EM
> during
boot. This will present you with a boot prompt; press
<EM
>tab</EM
> to see a list of options. In this way you can boot
Linux, MS-DOS, or whatever directly from LILO.</P
