Ok, grub is technically very inferior to LILO, but I love the grub ANSI boot chooser thingey. How bout a bootdrake that is a graphical bootloader that is even mouse operated. A screen comes up with the cute magical mandrake penguin and a list of bootables to the right. I click on the one I want to boot. If I choose any non-linux kernel, the screen goes away and boots to that OS. If I choose a linux kernel, that kernel selection box expands to take up most of the screen (minus the magical penguin of course) to proceed with the boot process. A "boot progress bar" that estimates how much time remains in the boot process (including detecting hardware ect ect). This would make a cool front end to LILO that would really add to the WOW factor of the OS. Have it come in a few settings: 1) Toggled off (normal LILO style boot) 2) Toggled on expert (as described above) 3) Novice fully graphical, no "boot window" just the progress bar. -David Talbot
