Re: vintage lilo interface

[Tom Pfeifer <tplists@optonline.net>]

Recent versions of lilo have /boot/boot.b as a symlink to
/boot/boot-menu.b, which gives you the color menu. To get the plain
menu back, you can either use 'install=/boot/boot-text.b' in
/etc/lilo.conf, or change the /boot/boot.b symlink to point to
/boot/boot-text.b
