For me the biggest is that if you make a config change, you don't have to run lilo. Just make your change and reboot. The other thing I like is that you can edit any boot stanza at runtime, meaning that if I made a mistake in my configuration, append statements, etc. I can edit it at boot. I don't use this, but I think it handles hiding partitions better than lilo does too. This is important for some alternative OS's like Darwin, which must be on the first partition of the first disk. -- /g "Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a book, inside a dog it's too dark to read" -Groucho Marx
