Bug#218273: lilo-installer: Debconf templates polishing
Package: lilo-installer
Severity: normal
Tags: patch d-i
This bug report is similar to #218208 and #218209 (consistency among boot
loaders installers).
Detailed explanations:
-_Description: On which device should LILO install the boot block?
+_Description: Device for boot loader installation:
Same reasons that those explained for aboot and grub......I used the exact
same string, but here "loader" should maybe be replaced by "block".
The key point is making it short (which would help translation). I drop
"LILO" from the short description as the important thing is knowing that a
boot loader is to be installed....which one is a bit less important for the
user and may be sent to the extended description.

Type: note
-_Description: Configuring LILO to use serial console
+_Description: LILO configured to use a serial console
LILO is configured to use serial port ${PORT} as the console.
The serial port speed is set to ${SPEED}.
This is note *note* explaining that LILO is in fact configured for serial
console. The current note title could let users think that it *will* be
configured for using a serial console.

Consistency with other boot loaders. More factual wording.

Consistency with other boot loaders for which I proposed the same
modification. Rationale : a lot of users do not know what GRUB/aboot/LILO
are...

-_Description: On which device should LILO install the boot block?
+_Description: Device for boot loader installation:
LILO should install the boot block on a bootable device. This is usually
the first hard drive, but could be in a partition if you want to use
another boot manager as the primary boot manager.
