My favorite is that you don't have to change the boot record at all to chage the grub configuration. I think the setup of grub makes a lot more sense. It's really easy to add entries and change the config and whatnot. another great thing about grub is that it has a limited command mode that you can enter at boot time. If your grub config contains a typo or error, you can still boot the computer without reaching for a CD. The only downside that I know of is that it's a little heavier weight than Lilo, since it effectively provides its own preboot execution environment with filesystem support and whatnot. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
