and your point is that ignorance is bliss? 
or is that running FC-1 and lilo is somehow on topic on this list still?
or is it that your setup doesn't use lvm so it really doesn't pertain to
the subject at all?

Nothing wrong with lilo - grub seems to work better.

I think that there are thousands of people successfully running Fedora
and a few people that are struggling can mislead others into thinking
that there are some problematic issues with the defaults but typically,
they have varied from the defaults.
