This is pretty much the reason I was going to give. For me, LILO has always worked, always been the default bootloader on every distro I've installed, and I've never had a good reason to switch. To me, the choice of bootloader isn't nearly as important as choice of mailserver/ftp daemon/distro/many other things. All I care is that it works. I don't touch a bootloader config more than once every 6 months or so... Heck, I don't even see a bootloader more than about once a month. One of these days, I'll get around to learning grub, and I may even switch my systems over to using it, but until then, there's no benifit (as in time savings or even increased ease of administration) to switching. > [1] See "Zen of LILO" on http://linuxmafia.com/kb/Kernel . _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
