Re: GRUB

[David Bristel <targon@targonia.com>]

Along with this, an easy to configure "multi-boot" for those who want to run
both Debian and win95/98 on their systems.  The current Debian liloconfig
doesn't make setting it up easy for the enduser.  While I havn't needed this
functionality for a LONG time, I feel that the Slackware liloconfig script does
a better job.  I hope this doesn't offend the lilo maintainer, but I've heard a
LOT of complaints from people about this issue.
