[CentOS] why was LILO removed from centOS 4.2?

[Brian T. Brunner]

The question was "WHY", the answer seems to be "because 'they' didn't like lilo"

1: Inadequate arch support in LILO
2: RAID1 boot problems with GRUB not deemed sufficiently important to leave 
    in LILO until said problem is resolved.

For ServerCD 4.3: 
1: Please support i586 in the install.  
    Method: if arch is i686, install i686; if it's i386->i586, install i386.

if you can verify this, could you file this as an issue at 
http://bugs.centos.org/ - I'll make sure the situation is rectified in 
time for ServerCD 4.3

thanks
