Since there's only one MBR, thre's only one bootloader, you don't need to have it in every distro. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Whether should grub2 write MBR automatic
2011/6/22 YunQiang Su : > Yes, if only for Linux distro, it can be done like this. > Then if there are Windows and Mac OS X? Windows writes to MBR no matter what. Mac OS X does it too, I guess? Because of Windows, I always install Linux after Windows. I guess there's no way around here, Windows doesn't detect Linux anyway. I don't know if Mac OS X does it. I suspect it does not, because you are supposed to have only one Mac OS X on Mac hardware. So if they both write to MBR no matter what, then one main Linux distro with grub is the only option. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
