Yep, I have used that several times. However, I ran into a problem a
couple times with Woody & Knoppix (whatever the latest Knoppix ver. was
back then). For some reason the newer lilo in Knoppix was causing
conflicts in Woody. It's been too long so I don't remember all the
details... if I would have had to use the Knoppix lilo any time I
wanted to update my boot sector (I don't think so) or if lilo didn't
like my older boot sector or something weird. Whatever the case, I found
a chroot to be a more surefire way of getting it to work.
So that's why I recommended a chroot for Hugo. Both are pretty easy
though.
HAND,
Jacob
