Now I have worked the last week on an universal source package for
Debian/Ubuntu. You can find my test packages here:
http://lilo.alioth.debian.org/ftp/

It would be nice if someone will test it, too.

Because there are a problem with Lilo maintaining in Debian: Perhaps it
would be the better way to make the packages for Ubuntu directly above the
Ubuntu Developer Team without waiting on Debian maintaining.


Have a nice day,
