I really like lilo, but after a couple of broken config file and severall other hitch. I decided to install grub. Grub is a bit hard if you never install it before. But mainly because the apt-get install grub doesn’t install a default file. So

apt-get install grub
grub-install /dev/hdXX #where to put the bootloader

Now you can reboot. But to have a nice menu edit a file /boot/grub/menu.lst like that:

default=0
timeout=5
boot=/dev/hda

title Linux-2.6.7
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.7 root=/dev/hda2 vga=791 ro

title Debian-2.4
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.26-1-686-smp ro root=/dev/hda2
initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.4.26-1-686-smp

title Memtest
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/memtest86+.bin

Note: My boot is hda2 (hd0,1) second partition of the first disk

This is really a good news because i love Python and the new apt-proxy has some better performance than the oldest perlish one. The key value here is the Twisted Matrix framework, now apt-proxy can download multiple .deb at the time without a bunch of process or other weakness. This is a great new for debian users but specially for twisted developper because i think it’s the first end-user app that use twisted (not speaking about webserver of other developpers geeky stuffs).

– Nobody for a twisted bittorrent server ? This would save a bunch of CPU cycles too !

Ok but take a look at http://www.wiggy.net/debian/developer-securing/ you will learn how they try avoid this in the future. Mainly by avoiding lkm in linux.
