It's also a bit more complex to configure than Lilo. I know that I
personally prefer Lilo, where you can simply and easily edit its single
configuration file by hand, using the familiar /dev/hda1 syntax to
denote partitions. I've never run into anything Lilo can't handle, so
why work with complexity if you don't have to?
*shrugs* Ah well. I can see this guy's point, but I also know that
there are no Lilo packages for FC5, hence removing Lilo's simplicity
advantage.
