[OLUG] lilo

[Daniel Pfile]

ahhh lilo... i've found lilo to... well.... suck!

i've been using GRUB for a while now, and i love it, it's so much nicer
than lilo, and can be loaded from within a windows system easily.

freshmeat says:

GNU GRUB is a Multiboot loader. It was derived from GRUB. It is an attempt
to produce a bootloader for IBM PC-compatible machines that
   has both the capability to be friendly to beginning or otherwise
non-technically interested users and the flexibility to help experts in
   diverse environments. It is compatible with Free/Net/OpenBSD and
Linux. It supports Win 9x/NT and OS/2 via chain-loaders. It has a
   menu interface and a command-line interface.

it's slick, i dig it, i'll probobly never go back to lilo again.

oh yah, url is:
