&gt; &gt; You really want to switch to grub--especially if you are booting

yesterday
&gt; &gt; when we were having boot problems.)  With lilo any time you upgrade
the
&gt; &gt; kernel you have to rerun lilo.  So if you are using mandrake's lilo
&gt; &gt; setup and you upgrade your SuSE kernel, how are you going to run
&gt; &gt; mandrakes lilo install?
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; Grub is just a simple text file.  You install it once and edit the
file.
&gt; &gt; No danger of rendering your system unbootable by forgetting to rerun
it.
&gt; &gt; And even if you mess up the config file, you can always edit it at
boot
&gt; &gt; time to get your system running again.

&gt; Sounds good.  I'll just need to play around and figure how to change
the
&gt; boot loader to grub.

Generally it is something like grub-install /dev/hdb
