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.
