Well, first off, RPMs are supposed to install non-interactively.
Additionally, the use of GRUB means that you can pick and choose on startup
without the same configuration requirements as LILO. Plus you can set the
default at the same time.
So, once you consider the requirements for RPM installations, and throw GRUB
into the mix, it's far less of a problem.
