Hmmm, maybe you're right - this is +urgent+ ;-)

I do know grub. I like it too but I'm on slack and lilo rules the roost.
here! I don't think that's a problem as I have another box.

I'm gonna plug the old hd + the new on into the other box then sort out
lvm + copy files across, then I can test booting and alter lilo.conf
through a boot-disk if required (though I shouldn't need to as I plan
to keep the partitioning the same).

Thanks,

Ben
