The Objective is generic, addressing "boot loaders" (or at least it should be!). The technical detail covered beneath the objective does have a range of topics, both of which could be LILO and GRUB (and god knows what all else). GRUB is becoming pretty widespread being loaded as default by the major distributions. I don't beleive including it now, even if just for statistical analysis is a problem. We know that it's weights that determine how many items for an objective are included, so, even if GRUB is mentioned in the objective to describe the "boot loader" tasks, it may not make (much) an impact on the actual exams.
I have no problems including GRUB. It isn't much different than deciding that iptables should be included by default WITH ipchains. It's obvious that iptables surpasses ipchain's quality, but not all distributions focus on iptables solutions, yet we are still going to cover both, because both are widely used... -- Kara Pritchard Phone: 618-398-7360 Director of Exam Development http://www.lpi.org/ -- -- This message was sent from the lpi-examdev mailing list.
