As far I as know because using LILO requires a boot partition LILO still
suffers from the 1024 limit.
GRUB which is the default in 7.1 does not reguire a boot partition and
allows for Linux to be installed anywhere and on any size hd.

Yes, as a matter of fact not long after I installed Mandrake 7.1 (I
migrated to Mandrake from RedHat) I noticed there was an update
utility. I had also heard there was something wrong with the kernel that
shipped with 7.1, so I ran the update utility. For some reason it didn't
work the fist time.
I don't think so. As near as I can tell, and I'm running 7.1 it's the same
old LILO. Steady and true. The easiest thing to do to overcome this
obstacle is to make a partition "/boot" your first partition. Make it
about 10MB in size and you are then free to make the rest of the
partitions as large
The file is in /etc/aliases
the format is: aliasname:aliasvalue
That's about all there is to it. You can comment out a line simply by
placing a # (pound sign) at the beginning of the line.
