Fine, but why are both packages needed by basesystem?  It would be easy to
specify a "Provides: mbr" in both packages and then to only "Requires: mbr" in
the basesystem SPEC file.  This way only one would be needed, and users who
have no problems with grub could uninstall lilo, or the other way around.
And actually even a "Requires: mbr" in basesystem would be bloat for the
users of loadlin.  I don't see why lilo *AND* grub are REQUIRED.  Having
one, or even none, is good enough!

BTW: What do you mean by ''safe-ing''?
