🚀 go-pugleaf

Have a look at http://www.mandrakeuser.org/install/iboot2.html. I followed this to
go from Lilo to Grub and it worked a treat. I'm pretty sure that there's a script
in the install that creates a menu.lst file for you - I wouldn't have tried it
otherwise - and it all went very smoothly.
