I had a 6.0 install on my system. I was using System Commander (a commercial product) to handle loading the multiple OS's I run (Linux, 98, NT). I recently tried upgrading to 6.1. First time thru the install, I figured I'd try doing an "upgrade" (I normally do complete re-installs). I followed the graphical installer instructions, and 6.1 was installed/upgraded. When the system rebooted I found that LILO was setup on my MBR, not on my Linux Partition (as I had been using). Not exactly what I was expecting. During an upgrade, why setup LILO on a partition where it does _not_ exist? I can see on a new install (and the installer explicitly asks in that case), but during an upgrade, presumably one does not change the location of the existing boot loader. The installer should _not_ _assume_ the location of the boot loader. It should make a best effort to determine where to install, and then ask if that is what I want. Anyway, some more data points... LILO had a 'dos' entry available, so I tried it out. That got me into Win98 (not System Commander, and co-incidentally the OS I booted before my upgrade attempt). Curious thing though, when I rebooted after that System Commander came up (and has since). I presume System Commander "reinstalled" itself in the MBR somehow. BTW, I things are really great otherwise, it even detected my SB!Live card. Although I don't think it works under SMP kernels yet, perhaps I try just to see, I'd be pleasantly surprised if it did work.
