# 2.4. Lilo

Lilo (Linux Loader) is a boot manager that is often used on GNU/Linux systems. Lilo comes with extensive documentation (see man lilo as a start). This section configures mechanisms for restarting the system using Lilo. The keys are:

     Lilo
     LiloCommand
     LiloMap

A short description of the keys:

`Lilo`

  Controls whether Lilo is used to restart the system (default: `FALSE`). When this key is set to `TRUE`, the "shutdown" dialogue box contains an extra drop-down configuration box next to the "restart" radio button. The drop-down allows you to select the kernel image that is to be used when rebooting the system. The list of images is created by querying the Lilo map file.

`LiloCommand`

  The location of the Lilo binary (default: `/sbin/lilo`).

`LiloMap`

  The location of the Lilo map file. The map file is maintained by Lilo and contains a list of kernels (versions of the operating system) to boot (default: `/boot/map`).
