"just have to" is not good enough. not documented enough, and what's with having to learn yet another commandline with non-standard disk enumeration and partition numbering? this MAY be excellent for someone who uses it daily maybe but I need it only once every few weeks or months, Muggles will only use it once a year or less. Why should someone start searching non-existant info pages each time?! the lilo.conf file is so much simpler that I rarely needed the manpage other than for smart menucoloring or password features, which are definitely perks more than basic features. In grub even the install procedure is crual and unusual, not to mention the odd configuration that may or may not follow :) -- Something for everyone Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
