NAME

       liloconfig - create new lilo.conf file (with diskid and uuid)

SYNOPSIS

       liloconfig [-h] [-v] [-f] [-u] [lilo.conf]

DESCRIPTION

       liloconfig is an simple program for creating a new lilo.conf file.  After creating the new configuration
       file you must execute '/sbin/lilo'.

       liloconfig use the lilo.example.conf file as template. In the final lilo.conf file you find many useful
       comments for custom changes.

       Please pay attention about error messages if liloconfig cannot find any images (/boot/vmlinuz*) oder
       image symlinks (/vmlinuz, /vmlinu.old).  Then you need to search for images by ourself and make some
       changes in the '/etc/lilo.conf' file. Otherwise no bootloader can be installed with '/sbin/lilo'.

OPTIONS

       -h  Print a brief help.

       -v  Print verbose messages.

       -f  Force overriding existing lilo.conf.

       -u  Force overriding/update of boot line in lilo.conf.
