Uhh, have you tried to load lilo from grub via chainloader? That sounds like fun. :) Of course, you would need to run lilo anyway, whenever you compile a new kernel, so one of grub's advantages -- recompiling kernels without re-running grub -- would be lost. Too bad! But you have the nicely colored boot menu for sure. :) > One complaint I do have about grub is the license.

Hmm, this really sucks! Makes we wonder, I always thought that grub was *the* *official* GNU bootloader. Cheers Viktor, -- Too much pot?!
