This is one for all your assembler coders and binary hackers out there.
I have a test computer here at work which runs one of several linux flavours, all of which use grub, apart from mandrake which uses lilo cos its a ****. Now - I need to know how to get grub to pass over the command to lilo so lilo can boot my mandrake.

grub is on the MBR, and lilo is on the /boot section of the partition mandrake is on (hdc1). I've been trying this chainloader stuff but I'm not getting very far, any help appreciated :)

Um, why do you need to use lilo at all for the mandrake? Surely just look at the /etc/lilo.conf to see what image files it's looking for, together with any options, and duiplicate that in the grub.conf ? (No, I don't mean just copy and paste obviously, but with sections already in grub.conf for other boots it should bne simple enough to convert).
