I am LILO's maintainer. It is hardly unsupported, infact it is supported better now than it has been in a long time. While I do plan to drop it post-lenny, it will certaintly be supported for lenny's release lifecycle. The initramfs-tools maintainer does not support any bootloader. It is not their place to support any bootloaders. I think it is absurd that you claim you are being silenced when you are not. If you have both GRUB and LILO installed, there will be problems. That is infact, a bug. They should Conflict with each other to ensure that only one can be installed at a time, but it is a minor bug at best, as any smart user would not have both bootloaders installed. And infact, any typical user would not install a second bootloader. William -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
