Using loadlin.exe is much easier than using LILO. BasicLinux still uses loadlin.exe by default and there are no plans to change that. However, loadlin.exe needs DOS to boot, and some people don't want to have a DOS partition on their system. So I am providing the LILO option. > Sorry, if I'm wrong and it was another person but are you > aware of any differences when using LILO over LOADLIN? LILO advantages --------------- booting Linux is faster no DOS partition is required can be used to boot other OS loadlin.exe advantages ---------------------- simpler mistakes are easier to fix BasicLinux tries to make things simpler for the newbie, so loadlin.exe is the obvious default. However, for users who wish to go beyond this, the LILO option is now available.
