ya thats what i did for the lilo thing, and i used some command like "sbin/lilo"
it worked.

Well if the fat32 partition is on the same box as the hard drive you installed Mandrake on, Mandrake will recognize this drive or partition as vfat/fat32 and mount it for you.  Mounted and mountable stuff is in the /etc/fstab file.

The fat32 partition is permission 777, and is listed in fstab as vfat.

If its not listed in fstab...edit it in there and remember to create the mount point.  You just use mkdir to create the directory/mount point.

20MB is fine for a single kernel but if you are doing kernel development go big...try it its fun.

I do kernel development and currently have 6 different kernels in /boot along with the grub boot loader. I don't have room for any more on that 20MB though. 40MB or 50MB would surely be more than anyone should ever need.  I don't put the source code there though, that should go under /usr/src/linux. If you were to put the source tree there (which you shouldn't) then you would likely want more than 300MB.
