If it makes you feel any better here is the changelog for grub-0.97-33.1-fc8: Changelog * Thu May 29 2008 Peter Jones <pjones@xxxxxxxxxx> - 0.97-33.1 - Backport F-9's grub to F-8. * Tue Apr 08 2008 Peter Jones <pjones@xxxxxxxxxx> - 0.97-33 - Rewrite ia32 efi call wrapper to make the makefile simpler. F9's grub is at 0.97-33. The previous version for F8 was 0.97-33. Unless Peter Jones made some dramatic changes I don't see how this backporting is going to adversely affect your system. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
