YMMV, Jamess I started on lilo to, then switched to grub. You couldn't pay me to switch back either. I to keep a lot of kernels around just in case something went belly up. Being able to edit grub at the boot screen is nice too. If you can switch, it is well worth it. Dale :-) -- To err is human, I'm most certainly human. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I also use Grub, but only because the interface is nicer and I don't have to load the boot sector every time I update the kernel. However, there is a catch. The computer will not boot if the /boot partition happens to get toasted. Tom Veldhouse -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
