Re: Stoopid Question

Hey Sergei,

I like elilo and have it working for dual boot, with a "Welcome To
Slackware64 14.2" message.txt etc. It does the job. I dunno how much effort
it would take to make it as much of a finished product as lilo. I haven't
got the time to work on it...currently working two jobs as it is. BTW, IMHO
lilo isn't exactly full of "bells and whistles" - it just comes off as a
finished product rather than test code. I agree with you about grub. I
don't use emacs, gnome or ubuntu. Those are good tools for some but I
prefer a Triumph to a Cadillac. Personal preference I reckon, I kinda like
the idea of leaving a trail of genuine British parts behind me as I roll on
down the road.

Take care.
