I am still hopeful that lilo will not be dropped from the distribution. I think it would be a mistake, and I believe lilo has many more years of useful life than most people think it does (or should have) at this point. But if they drop it, I'm prepared. I have already downloaded the source code, and I will build my own packages if I have to. For now at least, I *have* to use lilo for reasons previously discussed. -- .''`.
