Just as a side note about RH & GRUB... I've got an old Dell P166/32M/1G machine lieing around at home that because of the RAM I wasn't going to be able to install SuSE 8.0 on, so I decided to try a few other distros on. I'd not installed Red Hat since before I started working for SuSE, 2 1/2 years ago, so that was one of the ones I tried, and to test it, I asked RH to install GRUB rather than LILO, it totally ignored me and installed LILO instead...! That box is now running Debian Woody (it's had Mandrake, Slack, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD on in the intervening time...)
After reading some postings about lilo problems (in combination with Window$) I'm interested in the thoughts of using grub instead of lilo. I believe RH is gone over to using grub, but I want to know which one is 'better'. I know, I know, that's a mainly subjective question, but I'm interested in those subjective opinions :-) -- James Ogley, Unix Systems Administrator, Pinnacle Insurance Plc james.ogley@pinnacle.co.uk www.pinnacle.co.uk +44 (0) 20 8731 3619 Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.0) Updated GNOME RPMs for SuSE Linux: www.usr-local-bin.org
