I need to replace my boot loader, as one of the upgrades performed by to upgrade my libraries removed the 32bit libs that lilo upon which lilo required to install a new OS was removed as not being necessary. Unfortunately, it was needed to install a new kernel, so while my system can continue to run I can't upgrade to a new kernel. I think Grub is the current (?) recommended boot loader (?) but I really don't know. How can I install a loader lthat can let me boot as well as select what kernel image at boot time as well as add parameters to the boot line (like adding kenel flags and/or whether or not to start in a rescue mode, etc. Of course once I try, any major mistake might prohibit a retry...but maybe there are suggestions on how to prepare for that possibility? thanks!
