Hi, Only this weekend did I have the chance to try again and install debian on my computer. It didn't went very well, as I kept having errors from time to time while reading from burned install isos (It also happened last time). I thought they were related to my particular reader (DVD NEC 3520A), but it kept happening once I switched to an older one. I had to try several times so I could install anything.

Is it possible to install a IA32 compiled grub in my debian-64 disk using apt-get? I did tried to install Ubuntu on my other disk just for grub, but because of the read errors it ended failing everytime. During this week, I'll try to install i386 Knoppix, to see if I can finally get a working grub!
