Future Kernel request and one other question.

sarah31 · 2002-09-16 20:34:51

I would like to request that future kernels have the AGP as a module and not compiled in. Just makes it easier for us Nvidia owners to use our NvAGP option. No big deal though.

Question. I notice a growing number of people preferring grub over lilo these days. Is it possible to incorporate the option during the install procedure? I can work with either but i find grub much easier to use when incorporating whatever i am using on my test drive into the boot options. I know that quite a few other people out there would love to have the option of installing grub at install time.

Anyone else have any opinions on these points? (To stress again I personally have no big deal with the current setup)

grub is in the unofficial tree
/me lookes at Apeiro
why?

I dunno, with grub I wouldn't have my current problem though

both lilo and grub do what they should be doing, booting up the system.
Guess people who are preferring grub would have to install grub after installation, and I don't see any problems with that.

Yes i am aware that it is in unofficial (already broke my first install playing around with it ). Like I say I know a few people that would likely try arch but lilo would present a problem for them because they have only used distros that have used grub. Of course there is plenty of documentation for them to do it post install

Because I'm not ready to officially support it yet. That's the beauty of the 'unofficial' area.

When I get some time (or another developer does) we can move it into official, but until then, AL rides with lilo.
