Lilo is so fundamental to the system, it should be 'doable' with systems
which can't/don't-want-to do X-windows.

Drop dead ! "Works for me" is not a valid answer.
Just like the top-posters and html-emailers.
gnu should work to standards.
"...i386.." shows the idea: compatible with the 'lowest' version.

I believe the proper answer to my question is:
the author of lilo/LILO went on an arty-farty trip exercising various
graphics packages for lilo. Ie. he was more interested in the *.ps
diagrams and presentation that the utility of lilo to the users.
Perhaps since my old RH6.2 version a man/info was added ?
Or vaguely I remember it's called LILO not lilo ?

I'm using my proper OS now: oberon [ETH-native freeware],; flies
like a bullet on any old > 386 scrap hardware.

If you like an even older distro, I have SuSE 4.2 somewhere
flying around.

$ man -k lilo
lilo (8) - install boot loader
lilo.conf [lilo] (5) - configuration file for lilo

Get a halfway recent distro and you'll get lilo man + info pages.

What a troll!

not@top-post was all like, "Dude,
I think we've located the problem. You just need to start living in
the 21st century, where lilo is adequatly documented, that's all.
