LILO is the Linux boot loader. It includes combined boot sector, generic chain loader, map installer, and a simple boot partition setter. LILO allows booting from multiple disks, and can have menus for choosing different boot images. LILO is also able to pass command-line options to the Linux kernel. LILO does not depend on a specific file system, can boot Linux kernel images from floppy disks and from hard disks, and can even act as a "boot manager" for other operating systems. LILO should be ran whenever any part of the system that it knows about changes, e.g. after installing a new kernel.
