So it looks as if, now, just install grub is what gives me the chainloader from grub1 to grub2, and that's presumably what the official lenny->squeeze stable upgrade does. > > Do you think it's now worth upgrading?

I plan soon to copy my entire system to new partition(s) (isn't LVM wonderful) check that both copies boot properly (yes, I know to edit my /etc/fstab accordinglly) and then upgrade one of them to testing again to track wheezy development. (I have a USB device that I have to compile my own kernel driver for; keeping one stable system around ensures that I'll be able to use it until the Debian kernel supports it directly.) I still have a bit of space outside of LVM for a new /boot, but in the long run, I may want to go to grub 2 to be able to put /boot into LVM too. It's all a matter of getting ready for the future, not something urgently needed for now. -- hendrik > > Greetings, > > -- > Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
