Re: LILO boot manager

[Janina Sajka <janina afb net>]

Hi, 

Lilo simply isn't good enough by me for the simple fact that it provides
no clue to the blind user about when to select the boot partition.
Furthermore, it requres one to type in the name of the OS one is booting
thus providing an excellent opportunity for data entry errors with no
feedback.

Far more appealing, to me, is System Commander from V Communications. it
sings a short little tune when it's ready for input, responds to single
key strokes that always perform the same action

Now this may trouble Linux purists. But I'm interested in access, not in
religious purity.
