you can do the same with RH and Fedora, and as with Mandrake "IF" you
have the right distro and version. You and I have both been on the
wrong side of that "IF" before too.....<br>

<pre wrap="">But if you were running a Mandrake system, you only have to stuff the CD in,
boot into rescue mode, fix the lilo.conf and run lilo. It even has a menu to
make it easy for you :-)

My office system is a mixture of IDE and SCSI, no problems. My servers
are all SCSI, no problems. Never had one really. One really cool feature
I like about GRUB is the devices.map file. In there you tell it what is
the first drive and so on like "(hd0) /dev/sda" or "(hd0) /dev/hda" ,
the first one would make the SCSI sda in your system the first drive
and the second one would make your IDE hda your first drive, etc. and so
on. If your mixing drives like SCSI and IDE and didn't necessarily
install as such so that the system did the config for you, it was a real
pain with LILO, I found that is.
Rerunning the lilo command is no biggie, unless you can mount the
system, then it's a HUGE biggie. With GRUB, any way I can boot the
machine to run vi, I can fix it.

<pre wrap="">Umm .... I've had nothing but trouble with grub and SCSI partitions.
Maybe I'm too old and inflexible, but the configuration was very picky
and arcane to my mind. I tried it w/ Mandrake and Gentoo and
Slackware, and scrapped it as far too unfriendly and difficult to set
up. Somehow, saving and exiting vim and typing "lilo -v" doesn't seem
very hard at all. I have had XP pro booting as an option ... about 2
years ago ... from lilo, and I didn't have any troubles. I usually
have 3 kernels, plus at least one Windows partition going at any given
moment. I suspect it's alot like which word processor you like. The
one you learned first and most thoroughly is always the best ...
simply because!
BIG CAVEAT!! I've ONLY used grub on pure SCSI systems, never IDE. As
grub seems more "slanted" to IDE, it may be completely different for
that.
Just an old Slackware (since '94!) curmuddgeon's gripe. No flame war
intended! ;-) If lilo failed me and grub worked, I'd change in a
heartbeat!

GRUB Rocks!
As root, type "grub-install /dev/hda" assuming you have and IDE hard
drive and want to have the boot loader on the MBR of the first drive,
that should do it. Then you can have a look at /boot/grub/grub.conf
to see what's in there. Once installed, if you change something, it's
just a matter of editing the conf file, no reinstall after, you can
then just comment out what you don't want etc.
hint, to select a different boot level or whatever at boot time, hit
"e", then append the line of the boot with say, "single", then hit
"b" to boot it.
