This all smacks of the emacs vs. anything else religious wars. I've been using grub for a long time without any of its special features, and it always just works. If LILO works (and at the time "Caldera thrust Grub on the world", LILO did not work for >1024 cylinder support. Caldera is far from the only distro to use grub. Yes it comes from GNU, but so do a lot of other useful tools that I just use and enjoy without subscribing to the GNU religion. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area Redhat 7.3 system _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
