Why would > you test Fedora Core by running RHEL3? Because this lilo vs grub battle has been raging for years, kinda like vi vs. emacs. Because I was making a point. Because if grub is KNOWN to be broken in RHEL3 (guess ENTERPRISE environments don't use RAID ....) almost certainly still broken in RHEL4 since it is also broken in FC3, but it is perhaps, maybe, we really really hope fixed for FC4 means this is exactly the WRONG time to be thinking about removing the only boot loader known to work cleanly in a software RAID1 environment. Even in a perpetual beta release like Fedora. When Grub accumulates a year or two of real world successes, then it will be time to pull the plug on lilo and I can't imagine anyone objecting then. -- John M. http://www.beau.org/~jmorris This post is 100% M$Free!
