Changing Your Boot Loader
If you don??™t want to use the GRUB boot loader, or if you tried out LILO and want to switch back to
GRUB, it??™s not hard to change to a different boot loader on Linux distributions that support both
boot loaders. To switch your boot loader from GRUB to LILO, do the following:
1. Configure the /etc/lilo.conf file as described in the ???Booting Your Computer with
LILO??? section.
2. As root user from a Terminal window, type the following:
# lilo
The new Master Boot Record is written, including the entries in /etc/lilo.conf.
3. Reboot your computer. You should see the LILO boot screen.
