Of course, i did mount the 64studio partitions, and i used --root-directory option. After that, grub came up again, with the right entries, but with this error message... >> Now, grub is back... and it has got the old entries in it ... fine ... >> but >> it won't start.

Yeah ... not very different from my point of view ... all i like in the MAC world is "Logic" ... and in Windows World its "Cubase" ... but as all my sutdio and musician collegues use apples, i am always put to the point, that i have to buy a mac for making serious mixes ... Maybe I'll proove that even linux is a way ... > I do hope you stick with Linux as the basis for your DAW. Best of luck! Yeah ... i hope, too ;-) But what i heard from 64studio community is that it's not sure, that it will continue? But in fact. It's the best distribution (in linux world) for creating DAWs at the moment and i would do what i could to help the community.
