Also, grub1 will work until the end of time, just like OS/2 or MS-DOS or VMS - it isn't like software has an expiration date. > Commenting on dictatorial behavior by some developper is not acting like = a > child, it is just defending a point. Somebody wrote some software for free that doesn't work the way you want it to. How is writing free software dictatorial? Is anybody who writes software and does not charge for it ethically bound to write it to somebody else's specifications? Even if you buy into "the customer is always right" you aren't even their customer. --=20 Rich
