<title>Installation of Lilo</title>
<para>We have chosen Lilo because we feel confortable with it, but you
may wish to take a look elsewhere. Someone has written a hint on
GRUB at<ulink
url="http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs-hints/grub-howto.txt">http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs-hints/grub-howto.txt</ulink>,
an alternative boot loader.</para>
<para>Install Lilo by running the following commands:</para>
<para><screen><userinput>make &&</userinput>
<userinput>make install</userinput></screen></para>
<para>It appears that compilation of this package fails on certain machines
when the -g compiler flag is being used. If you can't compile Lilo at
all, you should try to remove the -g value from the CFLAGS variable in the
<filename>Makefile</filename> file.</para>
<para>At the end of the installation the make install process will print a
message stating that /sbin/lilo has to be executed to complete the
update. Don't do this as it has no use. The /etc/lilo.conf isn't present
yet. We will complete the installation of lilo in chapter 8.</para>
<para>Maybe you'll be interested to know that someone wrote a hint on
how to get a logo instead the the standard LILO prompt or menu. Take
a look at it at <ulink
url="http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs-hints/bootlogo.txt">http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs-hints/bootlogo.txt</ulink>
