Is there any way to detect which boot loader is the working one? Simply detecting whether a grub or lilo package is installed may not be sufficient, especially in the case where both are installed. I suppose I could look to see which is more recent, grub.conf or lilo.conf, but I can think of several scenarios unde which this would fail. It's time to update my bare metal recovery scripts (http://www.charlescurley.com/Linux-Complete-Backup-and-Recovery-HOWTO.html) to handle grub, and I'd like to detect the current boot loader if possible. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
