A significant problem with KnoppMyth is their use of LILO. GRUB is not
that big and it is not such a major pain to troubleshoot. (Try to explain
someone the MUST run LILO as soon as their kernel is touched to make sure
you do not get stuck with LI during boot.

Then there is a rather silly bug in the KnoppMyth installation process
which resets the timezone information to PST which is 9 hours off for me
as I live in CET.

All in all enough to abandon KnoppMyth for now as it needs some serious
debugging and improving on rather essential issues.
