This is because +<command>SILO</command> can actually read Linux partitions. Also, +<filename>/etc/silo.conf</filename> is read at boot time, so there is +no need to rerun <command>silo</command> after installing a new kernel +like you would with <command>LILO</command>. <command>SILO</command> +can also read UFS partitions, which means it can boot SunOS/Solaris +partitions as well. This is useful if you want to install GNU/Linux +alongside an existing SunOS/Solaris install. + +</para> + </sect3> |
