Oh yeah!
Only if you never forget to run lilo after kernel update or other boot config change, and never make a mistake in lilo.conf before running Lilo. Grub's cmdline provides opportunity to boot in spite of config mistakes, while there's no need to "run" (Grub Legacy) after config or kernel change.
Not all see beauty in the same things. :-)
But as I mentioned before, I make running lilo part of my kernel install script, so I *can't* forget it -- it's automatic. Lilo's command line provides plenty of opportunity for me to boot as well -- any of a number of previous kernels. That's why I make /boot a separate partition just for kernels have a separate /root and /usr. If everything was on 1 disk, grub might well be more reliable. But if you want performance and speed, sometimes tuning is worth it. For many, it's not worth the hassle, I'll admit. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
