Quoting Russell Coker ([email protected]): > You haven't been using GRUB nearly that long.
Quite right. And I've been seriously tempted to give that piece of junk the heave-ho and go back to lilo. (On EFI, there's elilo.) It wasn't broken, and I am annoyed by distros fixing what wasn't broken. (Your mileage may differ.) That being said, I've been an utterly non-enthusiastic user of GRUB since whenever it was that Debian introduced it into d-i or boot-floppies (whichever it was) on the unstable branch. And that's a lot of years, too. Which matter aside, if GRUB somehow dissuades games of device-name Frogger, point for GRUB and your point is unclear. If not, your point is still unclear. > Also the development of libata and SATA disks are much more recent. Yeah, you may recall I wrote the first real documentation about Linux on SATA, so you could say I did notice it at the time. > Yes things can work with direct names for the simpler cases.

Good point. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
