Right, not saying this is a viable long-term solution. But having everything being GRUB, *plus* using protective MBR, would allow us to not force people to reinstall when we finally kill off legacy BIOS. * yes, we still need to figure out how to convert existing systems to * protective MBR plus GPT, but at least we won't be creating new legacy * installs that will require reinstallation Best, -- Michel Alexandre Salim identities: https://keyoxide.org/5dce2e7e9c3b1cffd335c1d78b229d2f7ccc04f2
