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.

[Mageia-dev] Not very important require about mail checker.
Hello ! Is it possible to reintroduce gnubiff in Mageia 3. All mail checkers (in mga 2) depend on a wm. In kde they don't check the mail spooler, only kmail, gmail, thunderbird etc. Gnubiff is more versatile. If I am wrong excuse me ;-) (but tell me which mail checker is running under every wm and able to check /var/spool/mail or $HOME/ in a mbox format). Anyway thank you for your job : Mageia 2 seems to be very stable. -- A.Salaün

No I don't think, smart and smart-gui can do that. Furthermore, if you break drakrpm and/or urpmi (using unofficlal sources or testing) it can run because based on python.

[Mageia-dev] Mageia B1 fresh install
I installed freshly Mageia B 1 i586 on a Athlon 3500 proc and nv chipset with a graphic card nvidia 9500gt. Nothing to say : every thing goes well and rapidly during process install. At the end, it proposed to update packages for security I approved (ethernet connection) : all was right. I installed grub on partiton (I am using Gag on MBR) : no problem. So, for me it is a hat-trick concerning installation process on that old hardware. Furthurly I will try on a Acer netbook with radeon wifi and a touchpad not fully functional on Mandriva... perhaps it will be more problematical... we'll see. -- A.Salaün Ne lâchez rien. No pasaran.

What about bootloader choice? Grub2 or Grub ? Do you know decison of grub2 developpers about installing it on partition boot sector, not only on mbr ?
