+LILO 20 can be found at
+
+  ftp://lrcftp.epfl.ch/pub/linux/local/lilo/lilo-20.tar.gz
+
+and soon also at
+
+  ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/boot/lilo-20.tar.gz
+  ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/lilo/lilo-20.tar.gz
+
+On sunsite and lrcftp, there are also pre-built PostScript versions of the
+user's guide and of the technical overview:

+
+Since the last release, more than one year ago, quite a few changes have
+accumulated. The most important ones:
+
+ - compiles with 2.1 kernels
+ - is nice to NT
+ - almost arbitrary partition table manipulations are possible (that's
+   the successor of FIX_TYPE and HIDE_DOS)
+ - allows for non-US keyboard maps
+
+Given the large number of changes, this version should be considered as
+"beta" and be used with due precautions.
+
+I've attached the complete list of changes.

+Changes from version 19 to 20 (20-JUN-1996)
+-----------------------------
+
+  Boot loader
+  -----------
+
+    - now supports 19200 bps and 38400 bps on the serial line (UNTESTED)
+    - when reaching the end of the command line buffer, input is ignored
+      instead of being treated like [Enter] (by Martin Mares)
+    - fixed numerous bugs in patching of heap end pointer in setup.S (by Martin
+      Mares)
+    - images can now optionally be launched with a single keystroke (no [Enter]
+      required)
+    - now supports non-US keyboard layouts
+
+  Map installer
+  -------------
+
+    - DISK sections may now also define non-disk devices, e.g. /dev/ram
+    - increased debug level for the "Caching device ..." message
+    - changed the chain loader format to allow sizes > 512 Bytes
+    - chain loader now supports arbitrary drive mappings (option MAP-DRIVE)
+    - chain loader now supports arbitrary partition table modifications (option
+      CHANGE)
+    - removed the configuration option REWRITE-TABLE
+    - removed the build-time options FIX_TABLE and HIDE_DOS
+    - added the global configuration option CHANGE-RULES plus sub-options
+      RESET, TYPE, NORMAL, and HIDDEN
+    - OTHER sections have new configuration option CHANGE plus sub-options
+      PARTITION, SET, ACTIVATE, and DEACTIVATE
+    - OTHER sections have new configuration option MAP-DRIVE with sub-option TO
+    - now only 0x1b8 bytes of the boot sector are overwritten, which preserves
+      some magic numbers NT stores there
+    - compiles with 2.1 kernels (asm/boot.h problem - reported by many people)
+    - should also compile under 0.93 or such again (required NORMAL_VGA etc.,
+      which didn't exist back then)
+    - lilo -q  now prints unknown VGA modes also in hex (by Martin Mares)
+    - option SINGLE-KEY to allow single-key activation
+    - -Wno-parentheses  is no longer needed
+    - didn't complain if image label was equal to alias
+    - removed some ancient dead code
+    - new option KEYTABLE to specify non-standard keyboard mappings
+    - PS/2 ESDI disk (/dev/eda and /dev/edb) support (by Andrew Kroll)
+    - geometry.c:last_dev now only probes for the first two IDE disks
+    - because chain.b is used for everything anyway, specifying the chain
+      loader when booting from a driver other than the first one is no longer
+      mandatory
+
+  Documentation and installation
+  ------------------------------
+
+    - changed all references to nic.funet.fi to ftp.funet.fi
+    - updated the user's guide and did some restructuring (many changes)
+    - QuickInst no longer puts ramdisk=0 into lilo.conf
+    - QuickInst now consistently checks for LILO >= version 15
+    - make clean  and  make spotless  now also remove dump.s and dump.b (by
+      Martin Mares)
+    - changed package names from lilo[.part].<version> to
+      lilo[-part]-<version> for compatibility with sunsite's archive
+      maintenance scripts
+    - new tool keytab-lilo.pl to generate LILO keyboard tables
+    - updated t2a.pl to a version compatible with Perl 5
+    - READONLY implicitly turns off REWRITE_TABLE
