LILO can now boot beyond 1024 cylinders

["Ravikant K.Rao" <ravikant@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thought this might interest some people:
[ Of most significance of course, (imho) would be lilo ]

======
From: Debian Installer <maor-installer@xxxxxxxxxx>
To: debian-changes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

These i386 packages were installed into the Debian hierarchy in the
last week:

[...]

lilo       - LInux LOader - The Classic OS loader can load Linux and others
lilo-doc   - LInux LOader - The Classic OS loader can load Linux and others [d
lilo-doc 21-14 -> 21.3-3 into dists/woody/main/binary-i386/doc
lilo 21-14 -> 21.3-3 into dists/woody/main/binary-i386/base
lilo (1:21.3-3) unstable; urgency=HIGH
  * This version supports booting from cylinders above 1024.
    (Been in unstable for 3 weeks, and I got 0 complaints about it, so
    I think it's definatly worth to include it in potato).

bonnie++   - This is Russell Coker's hard drive bottleneck testing program,
bonnie++ 0.99e -> 1.00 into dists/woody/main/binary-i386/utils
bonnie++ (1.00) unstable; urgency=low
  * License is now GPL.
  * Now include ZCAV in the same package.  ZCAV package should disappear.
  * ZCAV reads through a hard drive sequentially and reports the IO speeds for
    different zones of the drive.
  * Fixed a few minor issues with the documentation, and put the test programs
    in /usr/sbin as they aren't generally run by regular users.  Also use man
    section 8.


bonnie     - File System Performance Benchmark
bonnie 1-3 -> 2.0.6-big-1 into dists/woody/main/binary-i386/utils
bonnie (2.0.6-big-1) unstable; urgency=low
  * new upstream version
  * updated manual page
  * updated to standards 3.1.1


sympa      - Modern mailing-list manager
sympa 2.4-1 -> 2.6.1-1 into dists/potato/main/binary-i386/mail
sympa 2.5.2-1 -> 2.6.1-1 into dists/woody/main/binary-i386/mail
sympa (2.6.1-1) frozen unstable; urgency=low
  * New upstream version. It must go to frozen since it fixes
    a problem where sympa dies each time it gets a review command
    from one of the subscribers. It has been reported on the sympa lists
    but not (yet) on the Debian BTS. Also fixes a reported RCB.
    Closes: #62064, #62056
  * Automatically create the /etc/sympa/cookie file.
  * The configuration file should be updated again. The cookie keyword
    should be set.
  * Put plain text approval commands too. Closes: #61812
