Hello! Bug-Grub went to being an open list, anyone could post there, and I do mean anyone, to being a closed one, about the time the first examples of junk mail in Russian surfaced. It was at my insistence. I also moderate it.
That means that if someone on this list has a problem with how GRUB is booting his HURD configuration, and wants some advice outside of the HURD lists, and writes there, I would need to approve it, and would. This also means that gigabytes of junk mail are being discarded right and left by myself, and one or two other people. I have offered to do this, that way, for the HURD lists, but AMS insisted that we keep them an open list. I won't go back down the paths as to why he's not here, but that's another story all together concerning my statement there. -- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- "Remember the Force will be with you.
