Hear hear. IMHO, lilo falls in that class of software that if you know about it, that's awesome. If you encounter it, Google how to drive it, or find an old-timer who remembers it. But teach it and examine it? I don't believe that is productive in any way - it's a reasonable assumption that a candidate who proves they have a solid grasp of grub and man will be able to deal with lilo with relative ease. -- Alan McKinnnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ lpi-examdev mailing list lpi-examdev@lpi.org http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev
