How to change boot loader?

[bachdieuhue]

Hi Linux members!

As the question in the subject, how to switch between GRUB and LILO boot loader?

Thanks!

Hi Hue,

If you would like to start using LILO, then you need to edit the lilo.conf file (found at /etc/lilo.conf) and then invoke 'sbin/lilo'. In addition to reading the man page for lilo.conf ('man lilo.conf'), you can get a good idea of how the configuration file should look from here (http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/install/iboot.html).

To install and configure GRUB, download GRUB from here (http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-download.html), and then look at this (http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue64/kohli.html) for a good set of instructions on how to get it working.

In both cases, you will need to be logged on as the superuser (root) to do the configuring and installations.

Good Luck,

John
