I'm with you except that I never understood grub, not even when it was new and innocent. It's not even fair to say LILO was "a pain to configure". `lilo.conf`

I'm with you except that I never understood grub, not even when it was new and innocent. It's not even fair to say LILO was "a pain to configure". `lilo.conf` was pretty clear and straightforward. It's just that boot-loading is arcane and dangerous. This makes it possible to make your LILO screw-ups really simple and obvious. Which is much better than the kind of screw-ups you can make with GRUB.
