lilo minus v


What does lilo -v -v do? From the man page, I understand that the 1st -v increases the verbosity but what does the second -v do?

-v Increase verbosity. Giving one to five -v options
will make lilo more verbose, or use, -v n (n=1..5)
to set verbosity level 'n'.

-V Print version number.
I see where the confusion was...

Cool
