and more: * LILO will not boot if you use something else than the MBR, this means: * LILO will not boot if you GPT. * You will not use HDD bigger than 2TB. and: * LILO will not boot if you something else than x86/x86_64, so you will not use lilo on eg ARM. * LILO will not boot if you use RAID. * LILO will not boot if you use BTRFS. * LILO will not boot if you use partition-less schema (raw hdd): https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00480.html and finally: "NOTE: I plan to finish development of LILO at 12/2015 because of some limitations (e.g. with BTFS, GPT, RAID). If someone want to develop this nice software further, please let me know ..." http://lilo.alioth.debian.org/ Conclusions? If we want to use lilo, then, we need to add this functionality. I like this idea, but this means a lot of work :/ Daniel _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
