=head1 NAME
liloconfig - create new lilo.conf file (with diskid and uuid)
=head1 SYNOPSIS
liloconfig [-h] [-v] [-f] [lilo.conf]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
liloconfig is an simple program for creating a new lilo.conf file.
After creating the new configuration file you must execute '/sbin/lilo'.
liloconfig use the lilo.example.conf file as template. In the final
lilo.conf file you find many useful comments for custom changes.
=head1 EXAMPLES
Lines in the configuration file /etc/lilo.conf:
### LILO global section ###

map = /boot/map
install = menu
menu-scheme = Wb:Yr:Wb:Wb

vga = normal
#default = Linux
### LILO per-image section ###
#boot = /dev/sda
