Hmmm...  I wouldn't want my average Joe User to mess around with their
MBRs, period.

When I said grub was as easy as LILO, I meant that I could start using grub
fifteen minutes after I had downloaded it, having learned LILO in my Linux
"training classes" previously.

Although I admit that a menuing system front end for grub (or its
substitute) in DOS (a l` Slackware installation menu) would be nice.  Maybe
we can use the 4DOS box drawing commands to do it.
