My reading indicates 8.1 defaults to GRUB if there is no LILO present so at least GRUB will not have to be forced.
Q: What is the difference between LILO in < 7.3 and 8.0?
Alot of improvements, most notably encrypted passwords. LILO is actively being developed, and there is a new release every few months.
Q: What is the reason SUSE switched the default boot loader?
Q: Is there an intrensic flaw in LILO which explains the switch?
From what I understand, GRUB can find the kernel all by itself, so you don't need to rerun it after any changes to the kernel. LILO needs to be run after any change to the kernel or it's name.
I still use lilo myself, probably because I'm just an old dog who dosn't want to learn new tricks. -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation
