Good point. In my case, the missing os-prober may have been the cause of additional messiness in the final result. Must dig down into /etc/ grub.d and study its bits and pieces. Grub2 is a promising piece of software, and seems more powerful and manageable than Grub legacy. -- Regards, Klistvud Certifiable Loonix User #481801 http://bufferoverflow.tiddlyspot.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
