But lilo has some uses, it works on some instances where grub does not, and thus, I see it as an alternative for those cases where the primary booter (grub) does not work. It is sound engineering redundance to have two valid solutions.
One example I can think of - I manage a number of remote servers where I have no console access. A grub shell would be of no use here, and to me(!) it's no big deal to boot the rescue system (via pxeboot) and correct lilo.conf.
Doesn't grub manage the serial port? Tsk, tsk, too bad... :-P
It doesn't matter - the only access I have is over IP. But I'm sure grub can boot with a serial console too. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.9°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
