After reading some postings about lilo problems (in combination with Window$) I'm interested in the thoughts of using grub instead of lilo. I believe RH is gone over to using grub, but I want to know which one is 'better'. I know, I know, that's a mainly subjective question, but I'm interested in those subjective opinions :-)
AFAIK, grub doesn't do much more than lilo. I think the one thing grub can do that lilo can't is boot a kernel that is not already defined in the config file. I ran grub for a while, but prefer lilo probably because I know it better, but also because there is nothing compelling about grub, at least for me.
It's does quite some more. It supports filesystems, SCSI and can search for kernel images etc. etc. Really cool piece of software, I use it myself. -- Mads Martin Jørgensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort?" -- A.
