Both packages are SMALL, and at install time, both lilo and grub config
files are generated, so afterwards you just have to type "lilo" if you
encounter problems with grub for example.
They are SMALL and this is safe to have both, so we don't care this loss
of diskspace!
And anyway as a poweruser, please do "rpm -e lilo --nodeps" and forget it.
