| I havent yet read on from this email in the thread, but fyi - I have a |
| 16 |
| working system to do this with grub/lilo. it is "modular" so would |
| 17 |
| work with any other. It can just be tagged into this system or any |
| 18 |
| other. I shall dig it out and email it it/commit it/do somethign with |
| 19 |
| it |

| 22 |

| 23 |
silo.conf... |
