No, Wally. Not "if all else fails". As I understand it, you actually need this package to do what you want to do. So grit your teeth and do it. As I said, I am no expert on GRUB 2, but nor are you. We just have to take the advice of those who know. Incidentally, Legacy GRUB and GRUB 1 are the same thing. I know that Lee thinks that I ought to be ashamed of myself for saying it, but I really do think that you need to grip the bull by the horns, and just do it. At the worst, you have to reinstall. Most of us had to do several reinstalls during the learning process. (And are still learning, and still make mistakes, and still sometimes have to reinstall as being the easiest way out of the mess.) So - courage! What have oyu got to lose? Lisi PS It would really be much easier if you just replied to the list, rather than to the list and to all of us separately. It makes replying easier. It is also what the Debian list askes for in its code of practice. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
