I see, I didn't know that, thank you. Apparently grub-setup is the bit that complains, and it can be made to disregard the check with the '-s' flag; however it seems non-trivial to pass -s through to grub-setup from install-grub, and if you were using something like d-i or another installer perhaps impossible. So, using dd is a sensible, pragmatic suggestion. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
