Mmmm....it's probably the greatest idea the mandrake team has had since the creation of diskdrake...I have only one nitpicking to do...the name is hell long :) Couldn't we get it to be something like "lilo install" instead of "linux install_bootloader"? Specially for those of us who are in a non-english-speaking country, where we need to spell all of that over the phone...it's gonna take a hell of a long time :) (tho yes, I realize, it's a lot faster than telling local newbies to go to the LUG's website and follow the instructions for getting lilo back in place that we have there) Vox -- Pain is the gift of the gods, and I'm the one they chose as their messenger....
