I would prefer postinstall script limitis itself to warn user he has to
run lilo, not running it itself. If lilo.conf is not in a valid state,
result could be rather dangereous.

Murphy's law : If anything can go wrong, it will.
O'Tool's commentary : Murphy was an optimist.
--------------------------------------------------------------
but won't lilo just error out if lilo.conf is lilo.conf.patte (not
valid)
btw you are quoting Finagles law (murphy's law is:
If anything can be done in two different ways one of which will cause a
complete disaster
that is the way it will happen) Either way both apply.
