mbr for DEBIAN -------------- This package used to consist essentialy of the file /boot/mbr.b, which was used by the `lilo' package. Now this has changed and the lilo package uses the install-mbr program to install our mbr if you want it. You can also use the install-mbr by yourself, even to put our mbr on machines that don't have Debian or Linux at all, as our mbr is capable of loading other OS loaders, and being small it has some nice things, like our prompt allowing us to boot from different drives/partitions, or now the Y2K patch for some buggy BIOSes. The README file included in this directory is from the source package and it is included here for completeness, you don't have to follow what it says if you are letting liloconfig install the mbr for you, but if you want to install the mbr by yourself you should give it a look. If you want to see how the mbr interacts with lilo, see /usr/sbin/liloconfig.
