!!DESCRIPTION |

__liloconfig__ is an interactive program which will ask |
| |
|
21 |
you a series of questions and write a __lilo.conf(5)__ |
| |
|
22 |
configuration file for you. It will also set up the Master |
| |
|
23 |
Boot Record (MBR) so that Linux will boot from hard disk. It |
| |
|
24 |
is normally run automatically whenever you upgrade the |
| |
|
25 |
__lilo(8)__ Debian package. |
| |
|
26 |
|
| |
|
27 |
|
| |
|
28 |
The configuration file generated by __liloconfig__ is |
| |
|
29 |
intended for common installations; if your setup is |
| |
|
30 |
complicated or unusual you should consider writing your own |
| |
|
31 |
customised __lilo.conf.__ To do this you should refer to |
| |
|
32 |
the comprehensive __lilo__ documentation, which can be |
| |
|
33 |
found in /usr/share/doc/lilo/ on Debian |
| |
|
34 |
systems. |
| |
|
35 |
|
| |
|
36 |
|
| |
|
37 |
If you have already written your own __lilo.conf__ then |
| |
|
38 |
the script will ask you if you wish to keep it, in which |
| |
|
39 |
case it will check it for options which are incompatible |
| |
|
40 |
with the current version of __lilo__ and run __lilo__ |
| |
|
41 |
to install the boot block. |
| |
|
42 |
|
| |
|
43 |
|
| |
|
44 |
If you have no __lilo.conf__ or choose to overwrite it, |
| |
|
45 |
__liloconfig__ will perform three operations to ensure |
| |
|
46 |
that the Linux system will boot from the hard disk: install |
| |
|
47 |
LILO in the Linux partition's boot record, install a simple |
| |
|
48 |
MBR, and mark the Linux partition as the active partition. |
| |
|
49 |
You will be prompted prior to each of these operations, so |
| |
|
50 |
you can skip them and perform them manually later |
| |
|
51 |
on. |
| |
|
52 |
|
| |
|
53 |
|
| |
|
54 |
The automatically generated __lilo.conf__ contains |
| |
|
55 |
helpful comments, so it might well be a good place to start |
| |
|
56 |
even if you wish to roll your own configuration |
| |
|
57 |
file. |
