I'd like to to install winusb, and it appears to depend on grub-2: $ sudo emerge -av winusb
These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

[Yes/No] However, I'm prefectly happy with grub-0.97, and want to continue using it. If I let portage install grub:2, is it going to interfere with my continued use of grub:0? Since grub-2.02 is being installed in a new slot, one would assume it won't interfere with continue use of grub-0.97... Right? -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
