>> Grub is Grand And I thought that "Grand Unified Bootloader" was hubristic! Until recently I used automatically installed lilo or grub rather indifferently, both as bootloaders and bootselectors. This way I could have endless hours of fun looping between 3-4 different boot menus referring to each other, without ever doing a full boot. A couple of months back I converted to GAG as boot selector. Installing it or backing it up to FD requires just seconds. It is strictly a boot selector - you have to have bootloaders on all partitions you intend to boot from. On the top of looping between menus, I now also get nice icons that very visually remind me what the heck I installed on /dev/hdxy (there are even icons with the SCO tree, the hurd jumble, and the OpenBSD blowfish...) + I can change the default boot in a few keystrokes, hide partitions, add passwords by entry, and do a few other nice tricks. As a result of your exhortation I just took the dusty GRUB manual out of the document dump and put it on top of my nighttime reading pile. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
