lilo.conf

[Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>]

I am working on the Debian package of lilo and am writing code for 
auto-generating lilo.conf files.

Below is an example of the type of lilo.conf that can be generated.  The 
debconf asks whether you want boot or boot-menu as the boot loader, it asks 
what VGA mode you want, what parameters to append, and what DOS partitions to 
setup with the "other=" settings.  The rest is inferred from the running 
system.

If your lilo.conf has things that aren't in this which you think should be in 
debconf then please do an anonymous ftp to ivanova.coker.com.au and upload it 
to the incoming directory.  I'll try and make the next version do what you 
require.
