There are fundamental constaints on the way grub works. I think a small partition for grub and say etherboot is a much safer way to go, and easy! You trust an unknown disc-defragmenter to not move the critical grub file? The borg probably moves it on principal! What I'm arguing is that using winders for grub implies questions that may leave you on your own. linux-grub is known and widely supported James ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
