Linda likes Lilo, but I think very few if any of the rest of us here do. I find Grub Legacy the easiest of Linux loaders to use and understand, in part for this one important reason:
If I screw up the config (menu.lst) file so that I can't boot from any existing stanza, I (anyone) can quickly edit on the fly any of those presented in the menu, or drop all the way to a grub> prompt, in order to get booted without hunting down and booting rescue media.
Could you hint what of this is not possible with grub2?
Note that I was writing "I", not "one". I don't know Grub2 well enough to be working with its shell, so could not write from experience in paragraph 2 about anything except Grub legacy. I didn't mean to imply knowledgeable Grub2 shell users couldn't edit to work around config menu errors. What I was primarily doing was pointing out something important to me that Lilo cannot do. I trust you to be the final authority here on how things work in openSUSE's Grub2. :-) -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
