lost my Lilo

2 OS are installed on my HD: Win98 & Linux RH73.
I selected which OS to use by Lilo (or rather Grub).
I reinstalled Win 98 and lost the Lilo.
How can i use Linux now ?
Can I have Lilo (Grub) back ?

Boot from the boot floppy you made when you installed Linux.

Then, as root, run /sbin/lilo again to rewrite the hard disk boot sector.

If you didn't make a boot floppy, get a rescue disk (all distributions include one on their FTP sites), boot from that, mount the filesystem properly, and run lilo.
