TopDog Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 Dude's and dudettes! I'll be receiving some cool "modding" stuff for my Shuttle SN41G2 with the infamous nForce2 chipset tomorrow, will be using heavy tools on it for a couple of days, and then install Windows XP (need it for work) and Mandrake 10CE on separate disks in full harmony using dual boot... so my question is: GRUB or LILO? I used GRUB under 9.1 and LILO under 9.2, but don't really see the big difference!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 My vote ALWAYS goes with grub. It has NEVER failed me....lilo has, several times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 I always use lilo, but that's just cause I started using it, and I know how to configure it. In the end, you just need to use whatever you're used to. That will be the best choice for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 As long as you use it to boot linux, all is fine... :D No point in getting religious over that one. On a side note, I have at some point used grub, when lilo couldn't deal with the boot image being further than 8GB from the beginning of the drive. After that I went back to lilo since Mandrake uses that by default. Works fine for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
