As a result of another thread I have a question on LILO and GRUB. I was under the impression that GRUB was to replace LILO for various reasons (supposedly better in some way - handles booting over 1024 cylinders, etc.) but a lot of people are sticking with LILO. Is LILO being phased out? What are the pros and cons of each?GRUB isn't a replacement for LILO anymore than HURD is a replacement for Linux. They're too completely different packages with similar purposes. Kinda like KDE & Gnome.
At any rate, LILO has had +1024 cylinder support for prolly around 2 years now. I continue to use LILO, and only LILO because it just plain works. Back when Caldera thrust Grub on the world, i wasted a few weeks playing with it, and was quite disapointed. Its Stallman's idea of a toy, masquerading as a bootloader.
