Hiho,

Mussel is now using GRUB as opposed to lilo. GRUB is much cooler and more 
suited to that machine. Lilo is no longer installed on the linux partition. 
You don't need to do anything if you compile a new kernel except make sure that 
it installs at /boot/vmlinuz (eg, 'make install') :-) GRUB understands ext2fs.

Also neat, GRUB allows you to get a neat little command line and boot other 
OSes/explore filesystems should you ever need to. Pretty damn cool.

Cheers,
Grahame
