Hi Bo and Natey,
'update-grub' will create a menu.lst file for you. It's a nice little
script to use. Then I do a 'grub-install /dev/hda' and I'm done.
I just did a fresh woody install and tried to remove Lilo. There were
still some Kernel and other dependencies. I filed a bug that was fixed
in the kernel-package so that new kernels SHOULD depend on lilo|grub but
I don't think that kernel-package is being used to create the kernel
images yet. I haven't followed it closely. If anyone knows the status
more accurately, please correct me.
