RE: [SLE] GRUB 8.0-->8.1

Sorry, but GRUB *is* better dan lilo. I've used lilo for a very long time but GRUB is much more flexible and much more configurable than lilo. Personally I think the days for lilo are over. RH and SuSE are both on GRUB now, and the rest will follow...

How do you enable GRUB on 8.1 UPGRADE? I can install it using, grub-install. I can configure it by changing the parameters in /etc/sysconfig/bootloader and then using Yast. But it is just a plain text screen, and ugly compared to LILO. The package dependendicies say it uses bootsplash/ncures etc. Anyone have any ideas?

I've been using lilo so long, I don't think I'll ever switch. Can anyone explain why grub is supposed to be better than lilo?
