I like GRUB, and use it more than other boot loaders (for HW where it runs), and wish it were ported to z. One thing bugs me about GRUB (pun intended): it uses "0" for partition "1" and so on. There's no reason for this, but it means you can't use "the whole disk" as one filesystem. By contrast, LILO has no such problem. Given the right disk config, 'zipl' also has no such problem. > We all have to tolerate the unreasonable demands of monopolistic > multinational conglomerates. > > Probably every day for most of the people on this list. > > Shane ... -- -- R; <>< ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
