My question is more oriented how lilo and grub work together (or don't). Last time I tried lilo was in 7.1, where the lilo.conf file was edited and updated (I thought) by a lilo run. But what happened was not as expected, lilo did not upgrade according to the conf file. On the other hand, at the next boot grub came up again and the changes made in lilo.conf were reflected in the grub boot menu. Same happened after the upgrade. I edited the lilo.conf and the changes were reflected in grub boot menu (after running the Drake tool, don't remember the name). So, where do you change between lilo and grub, and which files are config files for the two tools in MDK7.2? (I've been using lilo for a long time now, but I am a newbie in grub.)
