No. LILO is only designed to LOad LInux, or to chainload to a bootloader that understands another operating system. Only GRUB (and any other Multiboot loaders out there) can load GNU Mach and the Hurd. B> -why can the hurd flag for the fs not be used ? Because the partition type tells people what kind of filesystem there is. Currently, we use Linux EXT2FS (partition type 83, described as `Linux'), and BSD UFS (which has several different types). When there is a GNU FS, then we'll probably use the code that was reserved for `GNU Hurd'. -- Gordon Matzigkeit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> //\ I'm a FIG (http://fig.org/) Committed to freedom and diversity \// I use GNU (http://www.gnu.org/)
