Is that correct? In portage I see grub-static (GRUB Legacy boot loader) with version numbers that coincide with "grub" (grub2 ?). If grub2 has replaced "grub-1" what (gentoo) version number did grub2 first take take? What was the last (gentoo) version number for grub 1 that was actually grub1 , or have I confused these details? I cannot seem to find these details in the release notes or as part of the sourcecode. Any suggestions on that would be keen. James
