SYNOPSIS

   liloconfig [-h] [-v] [-f] [-u] [lilo.conf]

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.

   Please pay attention about error messages if liloconfig cannot find any
   images (/boot/vmlinuz*) oder image symlinks (/vmlinuz, /vmlinu.old).
   Then you need to search for images by ourself and make some changes in
   the '/etc/lilo.conf' file. Otherwise no bootloader can be installed
   with '/sbin/lilo'.
