09:43 PM Tom_L: what's the difference?
09:44 PM Tom_L: i've heard of lilo but know nothing about it
09:44 PM rue_mohr: grub has a bunch of useless tools in it
09:44 PM Tom_L: what's better about it?
09:44 PM rue_mohr: grub is mostly used for booting windows on a linux system
09:44 PM Tom_L: is formatting the same?
09:45 PM rue_mohr: they both just pass off to other bootloaders
09:45 PM rue_mohr: well, ok no
09:45 PM Tom_L: lilo won't read windows?
09:45 PM rue_mohr: lilo wont do that new windows crap
09:45 PM Tom_L: hmm
09:45 PM rue_mohr: with the protected encrypted junk
09:45 PM rue_mohr: lilo is good when you just want to load a linux kernel and run it
