Hi Uwe, I apologize if I appeared to have a bad "non Gentoo" attitude. But sometimes you just have to "seek the source Luke" Haha I emerged grub on gentoo with no problems, but like I said, I already had a grub floppy boot disk, so perhaps my input is irrelevent. Again, I am sorry for not having the Gentoo attitude. Sincerely, And with thanks to all, this is a great list, Rob -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
