Hi, Sorry if it is a stupid question, but how could I find out in Mandrake if grub or lilo is used as the boot loader? Unfortunately Mandrake doesn't have grubby :-( I started writing an updates downloading (based on rpmsync) running on one computer in the network and an automatic update process based on urpmi.update and urpmi running on each mdk box. Whereas this works perfectly for ordinary packages for kernel updates I need playing with direct installing any existing kernel update for each previously installed kernel-flavour. Unfortunately I didn't find mkinstallkernel invoked by postinstall doing a too good job, and I've decided to modify lilo.conf, menu.1st by the script. For lilo however it would need to be run lilo with each new kernel, but not for grub. The question naturally follow: how to find out (if both installed) which one is in the mbr? Thanks Geza Gemes
