+
+1) The CD-ROM INSTALL or UPGRADE boot options will automate much of this.
+
+2) Make partitions with Windows or Linux.  You used to do it with FDISK, now you do it during installation. 
+
+3) Only LBA 28 bit disk access is supported, so drives of size 120Gig are the limit.  Ancient drives with CHS are not supported.
+
+4) Test your hard drive by adding it with $LK,"AddDrives","MN:AddDrives"$().  Typically, hard drives are "ATA" not "ATAPI", and are found at port address 0x1F0, unit 0.  When AddDrives() displays defined partitions, make sure your partition shows-up.  Note the drive letter, though you can move them around.  $LK,"PartitionRep","MN:PartitionRep"$() will give a report.
+
+5) $BK,1$WARNING!!!$BK,0$ Each partition has one boot record, so do not attempt to boot both LoseThos and some other operating system from the same partition.
+
+6) More than one LoseThos partition on a hard drive is very useful for development work (I have three).  You might accidentally change files rendering your partition unbootable, needing to resort to a back-up to fix it.  A floppy or CD will work.
+
+$FG,5$$TX+CX,"Installing to a hard drive"$$FG$
+
+1) Create a FAT32 partition or two (highly recommended) on your hard drive.  You'll need Linux and Linux's LILO present on the hard drive as well.  I have Windows, Linux and LoseThos all on my hard drive.  (Install Windows before Linux.)
+
+2) Boot to a LoseThos floppy or CD and add your hard disk with $LK,"AddDrives","MN:AddDrives"$().  Note the partition (drive) letter of the partition you wish to boot from in the future.
+
+3) Use $LK,"Format","MN:Format"$() to make it a LoseThos partition.
+
+4) Copy the "/LT" directory to the partition with $LK,"CopyTree","MN:CopyTree"$("T:/LT","D:/LT"); where "T" is the source drive letter and "D" is the destination.
+
+5) Type "$LK,"InstallBoot","MN:InstallBoot"$('?');" where the question is the drive.  Enter the requested prompts during recompilation, making sure to add your hard drive (again) so it will be present when you boot.
+
+6) Boot to Linux and modify LILO.  Go to the "/etc" directory, edit "lilo.conf" and run "lilo".  You'll need to know the Linux name for the LoseThos partition--something like "hda3" or whatever.

+
+1) Once installed, you can recompile the hard drive OSmain with "$LK,"InstallBoot","MN:InstallBoot"$('D');" or whatever drive.
