-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 So, are there any advantages in moving to grub2 at all? I did find an Arch package for grub2; I downloaded but did not install it. I opened the package which is much a compressed tar ball of the package and found only one info page. There skeleton directories there for man pages but no man page content. At this point, I can't be convinced to switch. There was no menu.lst in the package; I did recognize some config files I recall seeing in the original Debian package of the same. But since this affects how my machine will boot and I dual boot, I have to be really careful. I usually don't mind upgrading to latest versions of packages but booting and having speech are crucial to me if ya know what I mean.
