Yes, grub 0.97 can be used. I still use it with my 32-bit system. However it cannot be used with GPT partitions which are needed for newer large hard disks (> 2T). I don't think it can be used when booting from an nfs mount either, but I don't use that. http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/index.html https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 Many of the links on the web refer to using scripts in /etc/grub.d/ to create the config file. We don't do that because we want to show the underlying system. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
