Your spell checker is not working.

"Had", and it wasn't John Coffman.

Developing and supporting it is *not* the same as maintaining it for a 
distribution.  It is apparent you are not very aware of how things are done. 
  Please go to http://lilo.go.dyndns.org/ and you will notice there is 
nothing but source.

So, no, I'm not contradicting myself.

Many folks could same the same about lilo.

Nope...  You need to learn.

Right, no time to contribute...but plenty of time to complain.

And maybe work on fixing your spell checker...or did you just deliberately 
do that to make it hard for folks to read?
