An end to the GRUB/LILO threads...

For Fedora Core 1, lilo has now been added back, but still on the
deprecated list.  To get to it in the installer, you'll have to boot
with 'linux lilo' and I really want to remove it again after FC1 is
out.  To make this a more productive mail, the list of things to then
target for FC2 are:

1) RAID support in grub-install.  There are comments in bug 55484 that
describe what needs doing.  Shouldn't require more than fun with shell
scripting, so this is a great project for someone who wants to start
getting involved :)
2) Hardware that GRUB doesn't work with.  If you have hardware on which
this is the case, testing across multiple versions of grub (it's been
shipped since Red Hat Linux 7.2, the old packages should all still
install) as well as making sure your BIOS is current.  
3) The a11y question, but the comments about placing ^G's in the title
should make that moot I think, as that's essentially what you do with
lilo as well.
