No. Any i386 boot loader should pass its own type to Linux (See "Documentation/i386/boot.txt", for more information), but Linux doesn't export the type to the user-land. > Could you please reccomend how I should find either LILO or GRUB and > make sure the other one isn't the one that was used to boot the system? I don't think there is any robust way for that. Suppose that you can determine which booted your Linux kernel. Even with this information, you cannot determine which is _normally_ used. The user may boot it another way. Okuji _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
