Version: 1:24.0-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
I've just fought my way through some problematic kernel upgrade and
found -R option very handy. However, it's clear to me now, its
documentation lacks some vital details. I've tried to adhere to lilo(8)
style as much as I could.
p.s. I was using lilo_23.2 source. I've checked man/lilo.8 hasn't been
changed in lilo_24.0.
