If I read the home page correctly, they are not really doing much more
than bug fixes on the old grub. That was my reading at least. I'm
dreading that day too. I sort of like my old grub. I started on lilo
and grub has seriously grown on me. I'll switch to the new grub tho. I
have NO plans to go back to lilo. None whatsoever ! !
