I am on RH 7.2 I386, I have make the kernel I have tar
-xzf freeswan*.gz etc.. 

--NOW--

When I type in root# lilo   it gives me:

[root@super64 boot]# lilo
Added linux *
[root@super64 boot]# 

And not the:
Added linux *
Added linux-2.4.3

Like its supposed to, I know I have got to edit the
/etc/lilo.conf file. It does have a .img to point to
but theONLY .img file is the "initrd-2.4.7-10.img"
I do not see one for "vmlinuz-2.4.13-ac4" should I..?

Here is my lilo.conf:

prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
linear

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.13-ac4
        label=linux
        initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.7-10.img
        read-only
        root=/dev/hda2
---------------------------------------------------

Anyhelp would be great! Thanks in advance!
Jeff
