We discuss generalizations of the Lie-Kolchin-Mal'cev theorem. For example we show that if G is a soluble linear group of degree n, then G contains a triangularizable subgroup T whose index in G is bounded by function of n only and such that T is normalized by every automorphism of G normalizing G0, the Zariski connected component of G containing the identity. We also prove that in certain situations at least the index of G0 in G can be bounded in terms of the degree and the ground field.
