Create new lilo.conf file (with diskid and uuid)
liloconfig [-h] [-v] [-f] [-u] [lilo.conf]
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.
Please pay attention about error messages if liloconfig cannot find any images (/boot/vmlinuz*) oder image symlinks (/vmlinuz, /vmlinu.old). Then you need to search for images by ourself and make some changes in the '/etc/lilo.conf' file. Otherwise no bootloader can be installed with '/sbin/lilo'.
Print a brief help.
Print verbose messages.
