I liked lilo. And then it disappeared :-( Grub isn't that bad - it's just that insists on trying to do everything itself - and if you've got at all a strange setup it makes a complete hash of it. LIKE GENTOO! I've moaned about this before, but last time SUSE updated itself, it trashed grub.conf and left me with an unbootable system. And then gentoo sees that I've got an unmounted /boot and throws a complete and utter hissy fit because I told it not to touch it ... Cheers, Wol
