This list only supports grub2. You can find binaries, and sometimes support, for grub legacy from various distributions, but I would highly recommend just using the actively developed and supported grub2 instead. > > I would like to use the legacy version so that I can write my own operating > system, but I can only get source code, but not the executables.

You can do all of that with grub2, in fact your statement "I would like to use the legacy version so that I can write my own operating system" seems like a complete non sequitur to me. For developing your own OS, you may find http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/multiboot/multiboot.html helpful. -- Jordan Uggla (Jordan_U on irc.freenode.net) _______________________________________________ Help-grub mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-grub
