nor to add anything about it to kernel-package...
you would be better off to make a real bootloader not relying on
proprietary OSes, or teach the current one to read the kernels off the

yes but it should be testing to see if /sbin/lilo exists and is
executable, if not it should turn all that off, which is exactly what
