   I think we should change the default LILO config to prompt the

   This can be done by adding:

   prompt
   timeout=70

   to the default /etc/lilo.conf. Is the boot floppies package the right
   place for this? Making the user hit shift for a LILO prompt is oogy.

I agree with the `prompt' part, but 7 seconds is IMO too long.  2
seconds is more reasonable IMO and is the current value IIRC.
