A change in LILO, and partition expanding

I recently partitioned my HDD, and installed Red Hat linux 8 on the empty 2.5 gig partition, have about 800MB left on the partition.

My first question is: What would be a good way to expand my linux parition?

My second question: When I first installed mandrake, It had a really nice-looking LILO bootloader. When I formatted the linux partition, and installed red hat, it came out with a LILO bootloader that had a terrible low-resolution image.
I want to change this image to something more pleasing to the eye. Is this possible? I already looked in linux's etc/lilo.conf , but it had nothing about an image.

Thanks in advance for your help!

To your first question, if you want to expand your linux partition you can buy another drive and mount it as /home, /root, /whatever. That's what I did:

/dev/hdb1 5.7G 180k 5.3G 1% /home

There are a lot of tutorials on how to do this, just search on google for "linux partition" or some of the sort.

As for lilo, /etc/lilo.conf *should* have settings for video resolutions. If not, it's probably something redhat specific causing it. Check redhat docs, I've never used rh before.

Ok, im all figured out. I just got partition magic 8 and looked around in linux a bit and found a .b file that contained the background image for LILO. Thanks!
