Could please point me to where in RHEL's documentation is written that LILO is an alternative? I've checked and there never was even a LILO package in RHEL 5 nor 6 and I could not find any reference in the documentation [1] [2]. Could you elaborate why LILO is relevant for LPIC-2? IMHO I really don't see a point in writing material about it, teaching it is a waste of precious class time and there is only Slackware that uses it as the default boot loader. In the past 7 years or more I don't recall having to use LILO for anything at all.
