    ok, we have problems now....

    - I try to edit lilo.conf when booted to the HD, and it brings up a blank document....
    - I open it up while booted off the cd, it opens, but i cant make any changes, says I dont have write access or disk is full
    - I'm doing all this while logged in as root.....

    any ideas?

    Browse to /etc with konqueror & see if there is a lilo.conf~ file, it is your backup file from the last edit. If not, copy the /etc/lilo.conf from the CD & edit it to what you had as close as you can.
