Thats similar to "aware of the commonly available MTA programs" in LPIC1. And I consider it a good idea for a LPIC2 admin to have that kind of awareness of lilo and the other mentioned boot loaders. But why do we mention files like /etc/lilo.conf, isolinux.bin and pxelinux.0? That's knowledge, you only know when you've practically worked with all these bootloaders recently. Or that some trainer has got to tell you and you forget it right after the exam. I'd rewrite that objective to: ==== 202.3 Alternate Bootloaders (weight: 2) ==== '''Weight''' 2 '''Description''' Candidates should be aware of other bootloaders and their major features.
