Lilo 2.0 has the ability to display a file before the prompt and also the
ability to boot something with a single keystroke. If someone could update
the lilo package and provide a decent configuration then lilo could also
offer a nice menu on boot up so that newbies are no longer irritated.

Hi folks!
The "html vs. info" discussion reminds me of "vi vs. emacs" discussions
:-)
It's pretty clear to me that we'll have to support "info" in the future,
since we would have to drop the "GNU" from "Debian GNU/Linux" otherwise.
However, HTML is getting more and more popular these days and I
I installed the new 3.1 binary (not support) package. It still coredumped
on me - XFree 3.2-1. Then I upgraded libc5 - 5.4.17-1 to 5.4.23-1. It now
works perfectly. I looks like its pretty dependent on a specific version
on libc.

Hi folks!
I'm glad that so many people are finally involved in our "file locking

past and we have no results, yet.
That's why I want to try to bring more "structure" into the discussion.
