Talk:SILO (bootloader)

Re: Deletion / Merge
This article should really just be merged into a more general article, perhaps Boot Loader. SILO was a predecessor to LILO, helping to give LILO it's name, at least. It should get a brief mention in the LILO article, and this small section should be merged into the "Boot Loader" article. I don't think SILO has significant importance anymore, considering that other boot loaders (presumably GNU GRUB in the future) can boot Solaris systems and/or OSes on SPARC architectures.

 * Which other bootloader can boot Linux on SPARC? IIRC, the Debian installer still uses silo. The silo-installer udeb is shipped, and the current installer still Build-Depends on silo for sparc. --Joy &#91;shallot&#93; (talk) 11:42, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
