 Can this make it into potato? :)

I already uploaded it for woody/. If I get zero complaints about it, I may
consider uploading it for frozen... (So please test 21.3-1 in woody and
tell me if anything is wrong ;)

Yes, I think so, too. I just install lilo 21.3 here (that's the version
number) and it works fine.

I think this is almost a necessary, unfortunatly what if there are unexpected
bugs in it?  the 1024 thing is great, but what if there is a fatal bug that
we dont notice imidiatly ... 

I think this should go in, but should have extensive testing first, in a short
time if possible.
