It would help you enormously is you learn a few basic shell (command line) commands because it's likely that you'll have to run the lilo program from there to update itself.
Here's a few:

Win32: dir
Linux: ls
Win32: cd
Linux: cd (to go to the root, type "cd /"
Win32: del
Linux: rm
Win32: cls
Linux: clear

Note that you can only run a program from the command line if you put "./" before it like this:
somebody@localhost # ./filename
