So it'is a fud launched by grub2 developpers when they recommend installing it only on the MBR. Since the apparition of grub2 all that is almost unclear. Lack of communication or understandability I don't know but the fact is that grub2 is a problem for many users. If we add EFI UEFI (of course not linux fault) it is a easyless installing one or different Gnu/linux systems than 3 years ago. But perhaps I am a stupid linux user since 13 or 14 years and I should have to buy Apple product or W8 ;-) -- A.Salaün
