Hi Mike, I like your perspective on this matter. Look at LILO coverage this way. LPIC-1: lilo _and_ grub have a weighting of 2 LPIC-2: lilo _and_ grub have a weighting of 4 That means that we get to ask 6 questions about grub and lilo by the time they get their LPIC-2. It also means that we can only ask 2 questions on both for LPIC-1. I'll leave it to everyone else to guess how in depth LPIC-1 can get on _either_ lilo or grub. Your idea of dropping grub or lilo (I'm putting words in your mouth, maybe) from LPIC-1 and keeping both in LPIC-2 has some merit. At least, it's worth discussion. It puts the 2nd bootloader into the more admin-centric level (LPIC-2) but keeps one at LPIC-1. Now, with that said. Everyone has 2 years to debate this because: a) the objective content is set until the next review period which is in 2.5 years. b) there is no b. I was hoping to come up with another point by the time I got this far in my e-mail. no such luck. c) there is the quarterly updates but those are for clarification and not the addition/removal of content.
