[ale] proper way to uninstall lilo

[Lisa Chiang]

ALE'rs:

What is the proper way to remove lilo from the MBR of a disk?  I tried running
lilo with the -u switch but that doesn't work right.  When I boot, you get LI
which means that lilo is still there.  I "fixed" it by reformating the boot
disk and reinstalling windows but that's a long sad story.  (Did you know that
windows can do terrible things to itself when it starts running low on disk
space?) 

Anyway, the good part is that this latest windows fiasco has made my husband
want to run Linux instead!  Hooray, windows has pushed another user to the good
side!
