I'll ditto that.  I switched over to grub some years ago on nearly all my 
machines.  As a result most of my recent experience has been with grub, and 
I'm unfamiliar with lilo changes - if any.  I use it for Linux, multiboot 
Linux & Windows, multiboot Windows, and also embedded machines.  Some of 
these systems have required awkward boot time drive number swapping, which 
I always found difficult with lilo.  I really like the built-in diagnostic 
ability.  I can boot a system that would otherwise need a dedicated 
recovery disk.  Never any worries about forgetting to run Lilo again after 
a kernel recompilation.  If it has a weakness I think it may be in the 
documentation.

merry christmas,
