I'm able to get it boot with a bootdisk however its pretty slow when off the disk.
 
anyways, anyone have any ideas how to fix this or even just have it boot linux directly with no bootloader?
 
And yes i know its a slow comp to begin with, but why make it any slower right?

Where did you install lilo?

Are you dual booting? If so, what other OS do you have?
