I see grub is both grub 1 and grub 2. So some vintage installs/upgrades got me thinking. What does Grub-2 offer that grub-1 does not. I cannot think of anything that I need from Grub-2 not mbr, nor efi board booting. Not dual/multi booting as grub-1 excels on that, and not on drives larger than 2 T. So what is the (hardware scenario) where grub-2 and it's problems are superior to grub-1? I'm having trouble thinking of that situation.......? James
