Let's make it impenetrable boilerplate, then.
FWIW, I concur with Jonathan. While I actively worked on my lilo.conf,
since grub (espeecially -2), I try to avoid touching the conf.
Wonderfully general, but (for me) wonderfully unusable.
Now don't get me wrong: without Grub, my box wouldn't boot, and chances
are that the "legacy" emulation of whatever monster bios is in there
is so buggy that Lilo wouldn't cope: therefore I am still full of thanks
and praise for the Grub authors for their hard work.
Still I do disagree on many of its design principles.
