[MLUG] With a month to go to SFD...

[Mark Grenham]

Hey Mel,

Just a suggestion re: the grub problem.

Why not use lilo? its easier to configure (script wise) and there is
probably an installer for it (there is a debian-installer for it)

If all else fails you could take the BASH script used in slackware for
configuring lilo (bash + dialog/whiptail)

But that is only if you get stuck.

If you need any help with this let me know.


Kind Regards,

Mark
