Can someone tell me how to change your boot loader from GRUB to LILO?
Good lord, why? Grub is FAR more capable than LILO
It's also a bit more complex to configure than Lilo. I know that I
personally prefer Lilo, where you can simply and easily edit its single
configuration file by hand, using the familiar /dev/hda1 syntax to
denote partitions. I've never run into anything Lilo can't handle, so
why work with complexity if you don't have to?
*shrugs* Ah well. I can see this guy's point, but I also know that
there are no Lilo packages for FC5, hence removing Lilo's simplicity
advantage.

I agree, I also have preferred lilo. I don't know why someone would
make the move wholesale to Grub with such a massive gorilla as a RAID1
bug in the room, doesn't make sense to me. Lilo has always performed
well with RAID0 and RAID1 combos and I've never been able to get grub to
install correctly in those scenarios.
I'm getting ready to find out wether FC5's grub will handle /boot RAID1
and RAID0 on the remainder of the partitions. FC3 did not perform in
that regard. I'm going to be mightily peeved if FC5 grub does not
function via RAID.

Well, for one, grub can easily handle fakeraid 0 and 1 in FC5. :)
