Thumbs down LiLo Woes

I have a Dual boot at the moment with Windows 2000 and Windows 98. I tried installing linux and it looked like all was well but when I went to reboot, there was no lilo boot prompt, instead it went to my normal Windows 2000/Windows 98 choice. Is there any file I have to remove or a line or something I need to add so that LiLo is given priority over the windows dual boot?

Yes, I installed it on the master boot record... Any other ideas?

Do you have to do a custom install to choose where you install it? I did a standard GNOME installation and never saw any option, although I did make a boot partition
