I suppose its a matter of philosophy. What this gentleman
describes as 'Delightful' I'd adjugicate as 'bloody fearful' !
What if it was necessary, for some reason, to continue with the
old kernel for a period of time ?? With lilo one has the choice
as to what kernel to load. Having made that point I admit to
having overlooked re-runing /sbin/lilo - with the ensuing
frustrations !
