Subject: Re: README Cleanup Project

I agree, I would like to apologize for this drama, I never intended to
create any flamewars or anything.

I also have nothing against LILO itself which I used to use, it used
to work great for me.

I just love Linux and I want to do what I can (and my best) to try to
improve it.

Thanks,
Diego
