I've used both grub and lilo, and cannot find much to choose between
them, but mandrake tends to prefer lilo so I use that now days.

I'm starting to learn more about grub. And on a Mandrake system that

You see, I now have my primary disk exclusively Mandrake and though the
first partition is /boot I have yet to see Lilo ala GUI perform reliably

For the differences:
Lilo uses the BIOS to access the partition where the image is residing.
It is file-system independent. This is accomplished at boot sector
installation time, by translating the location of the kernel image into
a list of disk sectors, which then LILO loads using the BIOS. A

I use GrUB. I wouldn't call it experimental. It works great.

Anyone with windows installed on the front partitions that are migrating
over to mandrake will probably appreciate grup as it overcomes the 1024
cylinder limitation of lilo. A few weeks ago I went to onstall SuSE over
my mandrake partitions. Since it uses lilo and my boot partition was

According to something I saw on the l-m site, GRUB is now the default
bootloader for Linux-Mandrake 7.2, but LILO is optional in an Expert
install.

I prefer grub for a few small reasons - you can make changes on the fly and
try them out without having to remember to run lilo to effect your changes,
and to make the changes permanent you simply edit the menu file- again, as
soon as you save your changes, thats it - nothing else to execute. I
I am presently running another distro than mdk, so I'm not
familiar with grub. Why would one want to use grub instead
of the usual LILO, especially now that LILO can load anywhere?

Ok, here today's question.
I recently upgraded my winblows OS and it overrode my grub. I used the
rescue disk and I can get into Linux now. It is however, using LILO to boot.
How can I get it back to grub?
Thank you in advance.

When I installed Mandrake 7.1, the boot manager installed by default was (I
think) Grub, which I like.
When I tried to oinstall Corel linux on another partition, I found myself
stuck with (a badly installed version of) Lilo.
How can I go back to Grub ?

Hi Tom,
Finally got around to checking out the "info grub" and it did indeed do the
trick. I was surprised that I could not change what I needed to change
through the Drakboot interface - I had to edit the grub menu file to
properly indicate where to look for the boot image. Thanks for the poi
