Sure you can replace the existing lilo with one from one of your new installations. The lilo.conf I used to boot Mandrake from a lilo installed by Knoppix is posted here:

And the lilo that I use is on hda4 and I can only now get to hda6 (kanotix) or hda7(Knoppix). When I now try to boot into the Mandrake OS on hda4 I get a bunch of permission denied errors. I made some changes to lilo and now need to run it from here (hda6) in order for them to take. Is this possible?
