I maintain the bootable floppy images. 

BTW:L install-mbr is a nice utility, but still does not replace LILO or
GRUB. 
BTW: One issue with dual booting Linux (which is what I do when I'm
upgrading to a new release) is to make sure that I coordinate the GRUB. 

The GRUB stage1 installed in the MBR and points to the stage2 which
could be either in the $(root-system1)/boot/grub or
$(root-system2)/boot/grub. I forgot about this once, and I didn't like
the installation, but I had painted myself into the corner. For the most
part, you can easily edit the menu.lst (eg. grub.conf). I think I had
LILO on the older one at the time.
