That's wonderful if you happen to be running the new version of LILO,
however the new version of LILO isn't shipping with any of the latest
distros of either RedHat, or Mandrake. Instead it looks as if they're
offering Grub instead. I personally prefer LILO. That's just what I'm
used to and if it ain't broken I can't see any reason to fix it.
Actually it isn't all that big a deal to carve out a small chunk for
/boot. In fact, it seems to help the system boot faster. At least that's
been my experience with doing it that way. And I've done it both ways.
ACtually I'm surprised that they have'nt offered the updated version of
LILO on the Mandrake "update" utility listing with the rest of the
system updates. That might be worth adding to the list for people to
take a look at.
