Personally i like grub. The shell is simple to use and even if the grub installation fails for some reason i am landed in a shell through which i could boot to something (No more seeing of L, LI, LIL error messages). For installing new kernels, just editing grub.conf and reboot is easy and saves one step and mbr is not written quite often (but I dont think mbr can be made corrupt by just writing new values to it, its just a sector in the hard disk). I do use lilo on some machines, and i particularly like the -R option of lilo. I dont think that grub supports this -R option. -- G.Vinubalaji MultiTech (()) Software Systems ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
