[lug] KRUD 6.1 password for lilo?

[Nate Duehr]

I just loaded 6.1 on a machine here and there WAS an option to create a boot
floppy, is that what you guys are talking about?  It's a checkbox on the
same screen in the GUI-based install program as the LILO configuration.

Not sure if you force it down to text mode if maybe in that mode they forgot
it or whatever?
