+1 - lilo isn't even in SLE 12 these days, it has no place in either
openSUSE Tumbleweed or Leap.

Please keep lilo. That's the only boot-manager we use.
Just out of curiosity... Why?
Never had any reason to switch, grub doesn't offer anything we need.
Now you're going to have a reason to switch.. grub will offer you something you need, a working bootloader ;)
Is there some reason you cannot switch to GRUB?
No particular reason but time and effort. We probably have some scripts that only deal with lilo.
Personally speaking, I find lilo easier to deal with, especially in situations where a machine ends up in a non-booting state. Maybe it's also just habit.
I understand that, but time and effort is mandatory in order to keep up with modern technology. lilo development totally ceased in December 2015, and it wasn't exactly keeping up with the requirements of our distribution before then. Without support for BTRFS (our default filesystem), GPT (the increasingly common disk layout), and RAID (a common feature), it really is time to say goodbye and to move on. I'd like to thank everyone who worked hard to keep it around as long as this, but it's time to move on. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
