I'm not asking rhetorically. I've never used either, and I'm curios if Red Hat went the grub/grub2 route like SuSE and many/most other distros. I use strictly Debian/LILO myself. I was quite relieved when they decided not to throw LILO out of the distro. Apparently it had been abandoned upstream. Luckily another dev took ownership at the last minute. -- Stan _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
