-.SH NAME
-liloconfig \- interactive configure script for lilo
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B liloconfig
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.LP
-.B liloconfig
-is an interactive program which will ask you a series of questions
-and write a
-.B lilo.conf(5)
-configuration file for you. It will also set up the Master Boot Record
-(MBR) so that Linux will boot from hard disk.
-It is normally run automatically whenever you upgrade the
-.B lilo(8)
-Debian package.
-
-The configuration file generated by
-.B liloconfig
-is intended for common installations; if your setup is complicated
-or unusual you should consider writing your own customised
-.B lilo.conf.
-To do this you should refer to the comprehensive
-.B lilo
-documentation, which can be found in
-/usr/share/doc/lilo/ on Debian systems.
-
-If you have already written your own
-.B lilo.conf
-then the script will ask you if you wish to keep it, in which case
-it will check it for options which are incompatible with the current
-version of
-.B lilo
-and run
-.B lilo
-to install the boot block.
-
-If you have no
-.B lilo.conf
-or choose to overwrite it,
-.B liloconfig
-will perform three operations to ensure that the Linux system will
-boot from the hard disk:
-install LILO in the Linux partition's boot record, install a
-simple MBR, and mark the Linux partition as the active partition.
-You will be prompted prior to each of these operations, so you
-can skip them and perform them manually later on.
-
-The automatically generated
-.B lilo.conf
-contains helpful comments, so it might well be a good place to start
-even if you wish to roll your own configuration file.
