Definitely. In any case, I would like to add that one must choose lilo or grub depending on lots of different aspects. For example, I have an ASUS a7n8x-e deluxe mobo at home, with two sata drives and one ide hdd. The boot options on the BIOS do not allow me to specify from WHICH sata drive I want to boot. So, grub sometimes had the ugly "timestamp" error (if my memory is not failing here). I had to go back to lilo to avoid the problem. And I like both! :P - -- Arturo "Buanzo" Busleiman - VPN Mail Project - http://vpnmail.buanzo.com.ar Consultor en Seguridad Informatica - http://www.buanzo.com.ar Genetic - A multiplatform Gentoo Portage Frontend - http://genetic.sourceforge.net for f in www blog linux-consulting vpnmail; do firefox http://$f.buanzo.com.ar ; done -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEmTtNAlpOsGhXcE0RAij4AJ9QtKv+kyuRjIhnbTPt7Eonf9UwPACfebFv ZeQB4bbwn79wwICfJTAypkI= =JL5w -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
