Hello, is it possible to change the bootloader from GRUB to LILO after the system is already installed ??? -Sonu

Hi!

Sure, install LILO and edit /etc/lilo.conf to fit your
needs.

"man lilo.conf" gives good help and examples !

then run "lilo -b /dev/boot-device" as root to install lilo.

For example if you want to install lilo on the MBR on your first
IDE drive call: lilo -b /dev/hda

BTW: It is a VERY good idea to have a bootable Linux-CD (e.g. knoppix from www.knoppix.org) at hand in case the installation
did not work as expected.

Lilo makes a backup of the overwritten blocks per default as
far as I remember. So if you killed something by your command
you can write the previous blocks again. How this is done
is described in the lilo man page as well.
