I've looked on the SuSE Website (2hours on a dialup) and can't see anything relating to why SuSE changed the bootloader or anything on why one is better than the other.
Not yet having a copy, i'm just wondering if anyone has a thought or two on this.
I've looked on sourceforge but can't see any reason either.
As someone with five operating systems on my test/development machines with variations for each in LILO I really don't want to have to start again. GRUB is now the standard Linux loader on most Linux systems today, including Red Hat.
There are many reasons why Grub may be a better choice, but the most
important is that each time you upgrade your kernel, with LILO, you need
to run /sbin/lilo, but this step is unnecessary with GRUB. As far as the
config file (lilo.conf vs. menu.lst), they are both equally cryptic.
