lilo and mtd ans doc

[Patrick Allaire]

in the mtd cvs download --> /mtd/patches there is a lilo-mtd.tar.gz ! inside
this file there is a lilo-mtd allready compiled and a lilo21-mtd-patch ...
should I recompile lilo our I should use the one that is there ? ... I am
currently using the precompiled one.

If you can see it, but it's not there, it's virtual. 
If you can't see it, but it is there, it's hidden. 
It you can't see it and it isn't there, it's gone.
