<title>Installation of Lilo</title>

We have chosen Lilo because we feel confortable with it, but you may wish to
|
|
take a look elsewhere. Someone has written a hint on GRUB at<ulink

|
|
http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs-hints/grub-howto.txt</ulink>,

|
an alternative boot loader.

Install Lilo by running the following commands:

It appears that compilation of this package fails on certain machines
|
|
when the -g compiler flag is being used. If you can't compile Lilo at
|
|
all, you should try to remove the -g value from the CFLAGS variable in the
|
|
<filename>Makefile</filename> file.

At the end of the installation the make install process will print a
|
|
message stating that /sbin/lilo has to be executed to complete the
|
|
update. Don't do this as it has no use. The /etc/lilo.conf isn't present
|
|
yet. We will complete the installation of lilo in chapter 8.

Maybe you'll be interested to know that someone wrote a hint on how to get a
|
|
logo instead the the standard LILO prompt or menu. Take a look at it at <ulink
