Using GRUB
The main difference between GRUB and LILO:
- the menu interface (GUI or text available)
- the command line shell built into GRUB
The GRUB shell can be accessed by the administrator locally or remotely, and be used to change parameters or stanzas temporarily (i.e. for this one boot only) or permanently within the configuration information.
These simple features, and the capabilities built into them, allows for a much higher flexibility of design and purpose while still allowing an easy navigation mechanism between boot partitions for users.
