Hello Bruce, Looking at the 9473 commits between the beta2 and beta3 tags, there are a lot of fixes in i386 and video which users may desire. Plenty of bugs have been fixed, as well. To view all of the changes: Clone the grub repository and view the log between release tags: git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/grub.git git log e8f07821cce1bd0ab6d5622c2a42440f15f4fd71 8207874e5d0d05159fd8c531c87f0f6e4653b8a6 Or view the long list via the web interface: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/ Sincerely, William Harrington -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
