Thanks. I had found that paragraph, but it didn't say what to do if you were already running squeeze. Just that you'd be given that option if you were doing a wholesale upgrade from oldstable lenny to stable squeeze. I never got that option in the year or two I was doing incremental updates on testing. I had gotten an option to install grub 2 about a year and a half ago, but that was before they offered chainloading from grub 1 to grub 2. Given all the problems with unbootable systems being reported at that time, I declined. The chainloading that's available now seems to be the safe one. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
