So does Grub Legacy, which is much simpler to install, configure and maintain. It requires minimal space, no scripts, and doesn't harrass you if you want to keep compatible legacy code on your MBR. Don't go out of your way to get Grub2, just accept it along with your Linux distro if it gives you no choice. The main people who need what Grub Legacy does not support are those requiring EFI boot, using HDs > 2TB, or using RAID. > Again, would dual boot be a good idea? I've been multibooting about 20 years, with DOS on a 1st HD primary included in most cases. It's really not difficult to set up or use any DOS version via multiboot. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
