I posted this past week about grub-common confusion that turned a simple legacy install into a long session. Grub-common rides in with legacy and makes an /etc/grub.d directory and scatters files all over the /boot/grub directory, including grub.cfg . But then it just sits there and tries to look like Grub-PC is installed. My system still boots off /boot/grub/menu.lst, kernel updates and update-grub still modify menu.lst, ^c still drops into a grub 0.97 terminal from the boot menu. I did another legacy install last night. I do think I remember getting Grub-PC in some dependency resolution, but I was able to remove it and install legacy without forcing anything. -- Kind Regards, Freeman http://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
