lilo -u

this  uses the boot= statement in the config file to
find if a backup of the boot sector for that drive/partition exists
and puts that  boot sector  backup back into place.

lilo -U
does the same, except it ignored the time stamp on the backup.

lilo makes a backup of the  boot sector it installs the lilo boot
sector on to.

and doesnt anyone  look in /usr/doc/lilo/README
or /usr/lib/lilo/README ?????
