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. - -.SH AUTHOR -Bruce Perens , -.br -Bernd Eckenfels -.br -and Vincent Renardias . - -Peter Maydell (pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk) wrote this manual page. -.SH SEE ALSO -.BR lilo (8), -.BR lilo.conf (5) - -.B lilo -comes with extensive documentation; this can be found in -/usr/share/doc/lilo/ on Debian systems.
