[Cbsupport] cont,.. installing cbv distro,..

[Kylie Davies]

Hi Rohan,

The lilo command is with a capital C - that will make all the world of
difference. eg lilo -C /new/etc/lilo.conf

After running that command you should see 
* Added Linux 

We'll update the doc to include that info. 

Hope this helps,

Kylie
