Graphical LILO, GRUB and Configuring XFCE


GRAPHICAL LILO

Can anyone share some links on where I could find Graphical LILO Menus for
Slackware and on how to edit /etc/lilo.conf. Some of the pages I've seen
has broken links. Or you could share yours. I'll give you my eMail
address for those who are interested.


GRUB IN SLACKWARE

Comparing the appearance of GRUB (in other distros like SUSE and Mandriva)
and LILO, GRUB looks better. Is there any way I can change the boot loader
in Slackware? Also if ever I've installed GRUB are there ways that I can
configure it to become graphical? (Ubuntu's GRUB is not graphical) Do I need
to manually edit any configuration files of GRUB to acquire all of these or
is there GRUB setup program?


CONFIGURING XFCE

I've editted /etc/inittab and changed the default runlevel into 4. My default
window manager is XFCE. Whenever I click the Exit button on the XFCE panel
it returns to the X session manager. How do I change this so that whenever
I click the exit button I will be given an option to restart, shutdown, etc
just like in KDE and GNOME? Or is it possible?

For grub, there is a package which has graphic capability :

I spoke to a guy who knew about styling Lilo and posted some of it here.

Thanks for the link! Now I've got a graphical lilo. Pretty cool. Forget my question about GRUB. GRUB is another boot loader and I'm pretty lazy reading the manual. I'm more familiar with LILO so I'll stick to it

How about a SuSE style animated LILO?
