[leaf-devel] Using lilo or grub

2003-01-30 Thread Spiro Philopoulos
Is there any sort of documentation on how to use lilo or grub with LRP? I plan on using LRP with a large hard drive, for which syslinux is not appropriate, from what I've read. If this is not true please correct me. --- This SF.NET email is sp
