Guest 1on1 Posted December 28, 2003 Report Share Posted December 28, 2003 I used lilo for 3 yrs. because I couldn't get GRUB figured out. Then about 2 weeks ago I switched to GRUB as a test...and I love it. One thing I noticed though; the rescue function on the CD1 wants to put lilo on the MBR when you replace the bootloader. So...use GRUB if'n ya want to, but keep lilo.conf current. At least with rescue on CD1 you won't have to run lilo to get it installed. I like GRUB now because it gives you the ability to edit on the fly if you need to, and to switch kernels for a boot without any extra configuration.

bvc Posted December 28, 2003 Report Share Posted December 28, 2003 if you use grub then what need is there for lilo at all? Why keep something current that you'll never use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
