I thought there was an issue with GRUB not working on some older PCs that
LILO worked on.  Don't remember the details, but it's normally brought up
every time someone mentions `GRUB' on the list. :)  If this is the case,
I'm not quite sure whether I'd rather make a mostly-all-in-one GRUB-based
multi-platform install ISO with a second LILO-based one for those PCs that
don't do GRUB, or ISOs for each platform using the bootloader that works
for that platform.  The multi-platform install ISO is something cool to
shoot for.  And after that, when cauldron installs *everything* through
spells, we'll shoot for a multi-platform network-based floppy image. :)
