DESCRIPTION

   liloconfig is an simple program for creating a new lilo.conf file.
   After creating the new configuration file you must execute
   '/sbin/lilo'.

   liloconfig use the lilo.example.conf file as template. In the final
   lilo.conf file you find many useful comments for custom changes.

   images (/boot/vmlinuz*) oder image symlinks (/vmlinuz, /vmlinu.old).

   the '/etc/lilo.conf' file. Otherwise no bootloader can be installed
   with '/sbin/lilo'.
