Maybe we should find out if we should switch the default to disc instead of
part.  I have *never* put LILO on anything but the MBR, and have to change
it during the install every time.  If the majority of the folks installing
SMGL are the same, we could change the default lilo.conf, and add a notice
saying we did so to the installer.

Speaking of installer, Adam, do you have any plans for 2.4.20-based ISO? 
I'd really like to be able to install on JFS, and could patch the current
install system to give that option, but I would need the 2.4.20 kernel with
jfs support, and the jfsutils on the ISO...
