Re: No Lilo in ES 3.0?

[Bob Metelsky <bobmetelsky comcast net>]

Thanks for the pointer Ed,  Ive looks at the sys admin manual
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/pdf/rhel-sag-en.pdf

but  it dosnt seem to explain how to change from grub to lilo as that is 
what Im more comfortable with. Its there an initab type of setting to 
say -use lilo rather than grub. There is nothing obvious , that I can 
see. That doc seems to refer to new install vis kick start

which doc should I read?
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/

thanks
Bob
