Description Łukasz Damentko (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-08-21 13:33:16 UTC
Why do we "emerge grub" and "emerge --usepkg lilo" in same chapter? It isn't
networkless install and user probably won't have package of lilo available...
Comment 1 Xavier Neys (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-08-21 15:50:14 UTC
Can't remember anything about that.
I'd vote for "emerge lilo"
Comment 2 Łukasz Damentko (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-08-21 16:15:33 UTC
I checked, initial version was with --usepkg. For grub it was changed to version
without --usepkg in rev. 1.7, lilo was ommited and stays with usepkg since that... 
I have no idea why, maybe swift had some reasons, he was the one who changed
grub entry - long ago. Lets wait for his comment. :)

I've also checked that it's only one doc which still mentions lilo, amd64 has
only grub, other arches also don't have it at all. It's small fix.

Oh come on, such a small fix and no-one took it?
Comment 5 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-09-17 13:10:26 UTC
Fixed in CVS.
