Hi group,

I'm looking for a good backup/restore system. I'll test mondo-rescue.
if I do "emerge -pv mondo-rescue" I get the following :
        These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

My bootloader is grub.
What is the reason for installing lilo ? may be for boot disk/cd/dvd ?
Will that mess up my grub ?
