From Wikipedia

LILO (Linux Loader) is a bootloader for Linux and was the default boot loader for most Linux distributions prior to the widespread adoption of GRUB in the early 2000s. Unlike loadlin, LILO allowed booting Linux without having DOS on the computer. As of 2009, most distributions have switched to GRUB as the default boot loader. Further development of LILO was discontinued in December 2015 along with a request by Joachim Wiedorn for potential developers.
