Hi, Vladimir: > 1.96 is way too old. Please disregard.
Ok. I got grub-1.98.tar.gz yesterday when looking for the current grub-mkrescue. > Feel free to ask. But please use current versions. The urge to upgrade might earn you a whining user.

So hopefully i can always roll back. ------------------------------------------------ > > What number of sectors/head and heads/cylinder > 63/255 as its what is reported on most harddisks.
