To quote Russell Coker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, # I am working on the Debian package of lilo and am writing code for # auto-generating lilo.conf files. # # Below is an example of the type of lilo.conf that can be generated. The # debconf asks whether you want boot or boot-menu as the boot loader, it asks # what VGA mode you want, what parameters to append, and what DOS partitions to # setup with the "other=" settings. The rest is inferred from the running # system. # # If your lilo.conf has things that aren't in this which you think should be in # debconf then please do an anonymous ftp to ivanova.coker.com.au and upload it # to the incoming directory. I'll try and make the next version do what you # require.
Doesn't look to shabby :) I'm assuming that the paths to drives and partitions are gleaned from current system settings, right? :) Anyways, I have 'lba32' in my main lilo.conf section. For more recent LILOs(anything after 21.6, I think - though I could be off), it'll allow for booting kernel images past the 8.4G(1024th cylinder) mark. Thanks for your work, Dave
