Thanks. I think this is fixed in experimental with the grub-install rewrite in C, as it now uses #if defined (__MIPSEL__) - could you confirm? If we need to fix this in 2.00, could you suggest a more accurate check that's about at the level of uname -m (i.e. no dpkg --print-architecture etc.)? -- Colin Watson [[email protected]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
