    No dual boot prompt for linux
    I was having windows98 installed on my system(celeron 500MHz processor ,64MB RAM). I recently installed red hat 7.3 on my system.the installation was successful.I used lilo as my boot loader.
    The problem that I am facing is after starting my system , instead of asking to choose a os(dual boot prompt)directly windows98 is getting booted.b'coz of which I am not been able to access linux os.
    Please help me...

    Redhat 7.3 has also grub boot loader.. try inserting redhat 7.3 cd and boot up from that to see if it gives you choices to repair the boot loader.. if not reinstall but this time use grub instead of lilo
