Your spell checker is not working.
3. lilo was dropped from Fedora and is also being dropped from the
upcoming RELv5. As to the exact "why"? I don't have any insight but
suspect it was decided with the Fedora Project Board and Red Hat.
so it has a maintainer but gonig to be dropped
"Had", and it wasn't John Coffman.
4. There is only one person developing/supporting lilo, John Coffman.
One should ask if John ceased to maintain it, your contradicting
yourself, in one breath you are saying JC is doingit, then in anotehr
nobodies doing it
Developing and supporting it is *not* the same as maintaining it for a
distribution. It is apparent you are not very aware of how things are done.
Please go to http://lilo.go.dyndns.org/ and you will notice there is
nothing but source.
So, no, I'm not contradicting myself.
5. You like lilo and totally dislike grub.
twice bitten, there shall enver be a third
Many folks could same the same about lilo.
6. You have been offered the chance to take up the post of maintainer
for lilo in Fedora as a contributor to Fedora Extras. It seems you're
not really interested in becoming a contributor but prefer to remain
part of the "those that can't, bitch" contingent.
see 4
Nope... You need to learn.
7. By your own admission the only time you post to the list is " when
I get bored, or feel a comment is warranted".
Correct, I do not post for the hell of it, I actually have a life, most
times I read what goes on in here, not always, and are known to delete
several days worth of posts without reading, if my time is limited.
Right, no time to contribute...but plenty of time to complain.
On a personal note, I do not use Fedora, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Slackware,
Debian, and others in a production environment and it is unlikely I
ever will. I will play with them but that's about it.
You see thats where we differ, I have a tleast currently for many many
many eyars used RH and then fedora as desktops, fedora was trialled in a
server environment but did not cut it, so we gave up and stuck with
slackware which remians stable, and supported for years.
I shall be soon trialling ubuntu on desktop, and will try F7, for
reasons stated in otehr threads which it is not neccessary to revist in
this thread.
And maybe work on fixing your spell checker...or did you just deliberately
do that to make it hard for folks to read?
