Hi.
        If you install Linux Lilo on the MBR, it goes in the MBR of
the first HD (primary master). If Linux is not booting from the primary
master or its first partition, you should inform it in /etc/lilo.conf.
        However, if you decide to use the Samsung as master primary, putting
the jumper as master will suffice. You better check before a long Linux
installation that from a DOS floppy the hd can be accessed, fdisk'd and
formatted.

  Since ln(-1) <> 0, dividing:  -1 = 1     (ln(-1) is complex, but exists)
