The "none" option is there, that's what I used yesterday. Still, it would be convenient to keep the lilo option in there, it has worked very well since we stopped supporting it :-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

But as long as it is with the YaST team, we should remove it to simplify the module, there are plenty of bugs anyway. The "none" option is there for those who want anything not supported by YaST. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Our goal is to have in YaST one solution that works for everyone which should be user friendly (just works and no suicide ) and if someone need something different, then allow it, but do not promote it or support it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
