[olug] USB Keyboard and Grub

[Trent Melcher]

Well, thanks all.  I got lilo running again and my USB Keyboard works just
fine for booting different kernels.  Goodbye Grub (for now).

My .02 cents on why I like Grub better than Lilo is, grub uses config files
instead of writing to the MBR everytime you make a change.  This keeps your
from making a mistake and possibly making your system unbootable.

Anyone got a quick how-to to switch from Grub back to lilo??? (Before I
go searching the net).
