Lilo (Linux Loader) is a boot manager that is often used on GNU/Linux systems. Lilo comes with extensive documentation (see man lilo as a start). This section configures mechanisms for restarting the system using Lilo. The keys are:
Lilo LiloCommand LiloMap |
A short description of the keys:
Controls whether Lilo is used to restart the system (default: FALSE). When this key is set to TRUE, the "shutdown" dialogue box contains an extra drop-down configuration box next to the "restart" radio button. The drop-down allows you to select the kernel image that is to be used when rebooting the system. The list of images is created by querying the Lilo map file.
The location of the Lilo binary (default: /sbin/lilo).
The location of the Lilo map file. The map file is maintained by Lilo and contains a list of kernels (versions of the operating system) to boot (default: /boot/map).
