You complain that GRUB2 can't install to a partition, and call such restrictions Microsoft-like. I point out that openSUSE does indeed install GRUB2 to a partition, just ike you want, and now you call them Microsoft-like? So in your view, installing to the MBR is dictatorial like Microsoft while installing to a partition like you say you want is also Microsoft like? I think you should take Alan's advice. --=20 Neil Bothwick Snacktrek, n.: The peculiar habit, when searching for a snack, of constantly returning to the refrigerator in hopes that something new will have materialized. --Sig_/y4p0HDzmlXuMYukwqgvv=bz Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEARECAAYFAlXiHJEACgkQum4al0N1GQNFbACfbqjlZ3ClyCspG55u0geedRg4 7KwAn1FMnxeROenESFxbhNEFvsAmMRCW =ML51 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/y4p0HDzmlXuMYukwqgvv=bz--
