true.
Well, how about this then. Instead of FILO writing the file we could just
provide a generic filo.conf. The first time the user boots up they will
have to manually boot. Once they are in Linux they can just copy the
filo.conf to their first drive, first partion, root directory. Ahh, but
that will still defeat the purpose, because it will still not be
configurable from FILO at bootup, just read only... huh, my brain is
starting to hurt.
