[PlanetCCRMA] PlanetCCRMA is a good thing

[Mark W. Knecht]

Fernando,
   Do nothing based on this email, other than maybe make a suggestion to
people that are building a clean machine as to what configuration you do
there on a brand new PC - maybe workstation installation, use grub, etc.

   If someone wants to go off in another direction that's their business. I
think your concept of having a standard machine configuration for doing all
of this is perfect, and it's less work for you if we all just do what you
do.

Mark

Hmmm, it does not require grub, although I have not tested
lilo (or used it) in a long time. In fact older instructions
included lilo but I erased that for brevity and because it is
now the default. Maybe I should bring them back...

I'm not sure if I have converted a machine from LILO to grub,
maybe once. It is not difficult but the documentation is less
than crystal clear :-) I'm not sure if I want to write
instructions on how to do that without a thorough
understanding on what could go wrong :-)
