I am not sure lilo has it, but for grub see /usr/share/doc/grub/README.Debian.gz Initially update-grub might seem a bit weird, it extracts comments from the menu.lst file in order to generate the menu.lst file for instance, but I rather like it, and have been using it on all my systems. It means you get a list of all kernels installed at boot up, not just the last two, like with the default lilo configuration. There is also no problems with the kernel symlinks and initrd symlinks pointing to incompatable files. (actually this is far more important with lilo then for grub, at because grub can be told at bootup time to load any file anyway...) I filed a wishlist bug report sometime ago asking that lilo be given a similar feature. -- Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
