    LILO release 22.7.1 is based upon Werner Almesberger's LILO version 21.

    Version 22.7.1 is a minor update to version 22.7

    o Expand device major/minor numbers to more than 8 bits.
    o Apply security updates to 'mkrescue' & 'QuickInst'.
    o Allow any keystrike (not just Shift) to display 'boot:' menu, or to escape
    from
    a stored command line.

    Version 22.7 is a minor update to version 22.6.1

    o Add the DOS/Windows utility 'lilo.com' which implements the -q -R -V (-C -m)
    switches. This utility may be used to set the boot command line if the sector
    map file is on a DOS/Windows partition.
    o Add bulletproofing for "unattended" so that a spurious <CR> character can
    be ignored.
    o Select boot descriptors based upon partially typed names in all situations
    except "unattended".

    Versions 22.6.*, 22.5.*, 22.4, 22.3, 22.2, 22.1, 22.0 are major updates to
    version 21.

    *** THE VERSION 22 RAID1 IMPLEMENTATION IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH VERSION 21.

    Those using version 21 should read 'README.raid1' before installing these
    new codes. There is a compatibility mode (lilo -x mbr-only) for existing
    RAID1 installations which are not going to be converted to the Version 22
    implementation.

    Source code is available for download from:

      http://lilo.go.dyndns.org/pub/linux/lilo (developer's site)

    Or from the main distribution site:

      ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/boot/lilo (please use)

    See the distribution file 'CHANGES' for details of the differences between
    22.7.1 and prior releases.
