I had no idea you were a GRUB2 developer, and have definetly no intention to start a flamewar or anything. Ok, so both -legacy and -2 are labelled alpha... I don't recall any message saying "GRUB2 is now considered as stable as -legacy, do consider switching to it". Is GRUB2's stablity on par with -legacy? Do you encourage users to make the switch? /Anders _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list Bug-grub@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
